A Catholic bishop in southern California who was hailed as a “peacemaker” was shot and killed on Saturday blocks away from a church, stunning the Los Angeles religious community.
Detectives were investigating the death of Bishop David O’Connell as a homicide, the Los Angeles county sheriff’s department said.
Authorities did not say if the bishop was targeted. The sheriff’s department would not say how or where his body was found. The suspect, or suspects, remained at-large.
