MONROVIA : Students to Aid Family of Youth

A Citrus Community College student group will hold a memorial carwash today to raise money for the family of 17-year-old German Basulto Jr., who was fatally injured Tuesday night by a car that was being chased by Pasadena police.

Basulto, who had driven from his Monrovia home about 10:45 p.m. to buy a typewriter ribbon, was struck by a Cadillac getting off the Foothill Freeway (210) at high speed. Three of the car’s occupants were arrested on suspicion of murder and a fourth escaped. Police began the pursuit in Pasadena after hearing shots which they believed were from a drive-by shooting.

Members of the Citrus College Latino Student Assn. will wash cars from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Sam’s Unocal gas station, 1602 Myrtle Ave., in Monrovia. Basulto and his older sister were members of the group.
