Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced today that Russell Hardy, Jr. and Cameron DeShawn Perry have been charged with robbing and assaulting multiple people, some who are elderly, in the cities of Industry, Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights. One of the incidents in Hacienda Heights included a viral video of an elderly woman being attacked.

My office is working to ensure those responsible for these reprehensible acts are swiftly brought to justice. Our commitment to safeguarding our community, especially those who are most at risk, remains unwavering. My office’s Bureau of Victim Services remains ready to assist these victims who require our services during this time.”
