LOS ANGELES – A man and woman from Inglewood were charged with capital murder today in the fatal shooting of an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection worker who was killed at an ATM in West Los Angeles.
McKenzie Carl Bryant, whose street moniker is “Little Fire Bug “ and Enjoli Elan McClendon were arrested last week by detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Commercial Crimes Division. McClendon, 22 (dob 3/8/1986), was arrested on Thursday. Bryant, 23 (dob 8/18/1985), was picked up a day later.

They were charged in case No. BA337761 filed by the District Attorney’s Hardcore Gang Division. McClendon was expected to appear for arraignment in Los Angeles Superior Court this afternoon. Bryant was due in court tomorrow. Both are being held without bail.

The complaint charges the pair with murdering Mylus Mondy on March 9. It was alleged the crime was committed during a robbery, making it a capital case under California law. The District Attorney’s office has not, however, made a decision on whether to seek the death penalty against either or both defendants. That decision is made when the case moves closer to trial.

The defendants were charged with one count each of murder with the special circumstance of robbery murder, attempted first-degree automated teller machine robbery and first-degree automated teller machine robbery. The complaint alleged that Bryant used a handgun to kill Mondy.

Mondy was shot to death after walking up to an ATM in the 6600 block of La Cienega Westway. Police said the assailant was a man demanding money.

The case has not yet been assigned to a prosecutor.
