LA Riots Burning Mall | La Jura! (The Police!) South Los Angeles

April 1, 2025
LA Riots Burning Mall, in the mid-afternoon, on the second day of rioting and the first full day, looting began. This image was taken on Washington Blvd., in South Los Angeles near DTLA. Latinos are seen looting a strip mall, while the building caught on fire and a large plume of black smoke began to rise. Latinos are seen scattering when Los Angeles Police Department motorcycle officers (La Jura/The police) in a cruiser and Los Angeles Fire Department fire engine company arrive— yet overwhelmed by the chaos themselves, only stood and watched as the crowd run out of the mall. The majority of looting took place in broad daylight. Photograph captured by Mexican fine art documentary photographer Abraham Torres, with a Canon EOS 630 35mm film camera.
