Jesse Figueroa, a 40-year-old campus security guard, has been charged with murder and attempted murder following a shooting at Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in Inglewood, near Los Angeles. The incident, which occurred on May 2, resulted in the death of Cameisha Denise Clark, a 35-year-old dean at the college, and injuries to another 37-year-old female employee. Figueroa faces additional charges for possessing a firearm as a felon and gun sentencing enhancements, which could lead to a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. Figueroa, who was employed by a third-party security firm, was previously convicted of robbery in 2007. Following the shooting, a 9mm shell casing was found at the scene, and DNA or fingerprint evidence may be present on it. Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts described the incident as an act of 'workplace violence.' Figueroa was detained by Los Angeles Police Department officers, and a gun was found in his vehicle. Cameisha Denise Clark, who had recently been promoted to dean, was in critical condition, possibly brain-dead, following the shooting and later succumbed to her injuries. Spartan College Inglewood Campus president Chris Becker expressed deep sadness over the incident and noted that counseling services and support are being arranged for students and staff. Clark was remembered by her family as a compassionate and driven individual who significantly impacted the lives of students at both Clark Atlanta University and Spartan College, prompting an outpouring of tributes from friends and colleagues.
