LONG BEACH -- The murder case of popular Long Beach Wilson High School student Melody Ross just keeps getting sader and sader.

Today, as expected, two Wilson High School girls were charged with witness intimidation after they allegedly approached a witness in the case against two teenage boys charged with the murder of Ross last year.


The girls are 16 and 17 years old.  They are charged with two felony counts each of witness intimidation for an April 19 incident. In addition, each defendant is charged with street gang allegations. They are in custody.

Because the two are charged as juveniles, their names are not being released. They are scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Long Beach Juvenile Court.

The two allegedly approached another Wilson High student on campus last week and threatened him after he testified at the preliminary hearing involving defendants Tom Love Vinson, 17, and Daivion Davis, 16.

Vinson and Davis are being tried as adults for the Oct. 30 fatal shooting of Melody Ross, a junior at Wilson, and the attempted murder of two others after a homecoming football game.

If convicted, the two girls face a maximum sentence in custody at the Division of Juvenile Justice up to the age of 25.

I hope something good and positive can come from this entire case.  The students who are going to Wilson High School are amazing, and talented, and need to have calm in thier lives.  This has cast a cloud over our community, and all of us need to be involved in the lives of our children, day in and day out.

More details to follow.
