FBI to launch civil rights inquiry into Pasadena teen's slaying By Richard Winton and Adolfo Flores, Los Angeles Times The FBI announced Friday it will launch a civil rights inquiry into the fatal shooting of an unarmed college student by Pasadena police last month. FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the inquiry is being launched independently of a call by Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez for the agency to look into the shooting of Kendrec McDade, 19. The Pasadena Police Department is conducting its own inquiry, as is the Los Angeles County district attorney's office and the county's Office of Independent Review.
