LOS ANGELES (KNX) — Two men have been charged in the 2020 fatal shooting of a mother of two outside a Venice bike rental store.
Isiah Eugene Calwell Jr., 28, and Michael Singh, 30, each face one count of murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder in the slaying of 29-year-old Ky Thomas, according to the office of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón.
“My deepest condolences go out to the friends and family of Ky Thomas and my heart breaks for her small children and her mother who has fought so diligently for justice,” Gascón said in a statement. “Nothing can mitigate the pain that they must be feeling at this hour, but I hope that they will find a moment of peace in knowing that those responsible for Ky’s death will be held accountable. I am asking for the public’s help in finding additional suspects involved in the killing as we continue our pursuit of justice on Ky’s behalf.”
On Dec. 1, 2020, Caldwell, Singh, and others confronted Thomas while she was with her boyfriend, her sister, and her sister’s boyfriend outside of the bike rental store.
During the confrontation, authorities allege Caldwell shot and killed Thomas.
Singh faces an additional count of possession of an assault weapon — a rifle — and Caldwell faces one misdemeanor count of carrying a loaded firearm.
Caldwell and Singh pleaded not guilty to the charges and were scheduled to return to court Thursday.
