Mother helps son by driving him to the murder scene

Mothers have lied, spun elaborate alibis and hidden evidence for their gang-member sons. But investigators say Eva Daley went to murderous lengths.

Daley, 30, drove her 14-year-old son and six other members of the Latin Marijuana Smokers gang to a skate park to kill a 13-year-old boy they had a grudge against, police say. The boy, Jose “Bobby” Cano, was stabbed to death.

“I thought I had heard of everything,” said Gary Hearnsberger, head of the Hardcore Gang Division at the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.

Daley and the seven teenagers were charged with murder in the June 26 slaying near the squalid skate park, 25 miles south of LA.

This week, Daley was jailed on $1 million bail and pleaded not guilty. The teens, ages 14 to 17, face hearings to determine whether they will be tried as adults. Police said at least three more juveniles are being sought.

Prosecutors in Long Beach said Daley drove the teenagers to the scene “in furtherance of the gang” — an allegation that could add 10 years to her 25 years to life sentence if she is convicted.
