Alicia West’s life was cut short in a shocking act of violence, one that many describe as deeply personal.
It’s a crime that will haunt her family forever.
“I thought she was the most beautiful baby I’d ever seen.“ In
a tearful interview, Charles Warren remembers his daughter as a bright,
happy child – a memory that’s tough to reconcile with the last months
of her life.
“When I was informed about it, I really couldn’t
believe it, you know, because that just doesn’t happen [to us]. That
happens to other families, you know. You read about it but it couldn’t
happen because Alicia was just too nice,” Warren says.
The person
accused of stabbing her to death is also the man West spent at least
five months attempting to get away from – 26-year-old Kelvin Brown II.

We had been talking online for 4 months before we went out on a date.
The first 3 dates with the state trooper went well. The 4th date was awkward bc we went to a bar with a large group of people. A female friend of his stated staring me down and physically following and touching me and making me both angered and uncomfortable. I said I was leaving. A group ofnhis friends wanted to talk about what happened for 30 mins. I kept trying to leave. He said we could go to his house down the block and talk. We did. He asked me inside to watch movies. I said I wasn’t interested in sex. He said he didn’t mention anything about sex. Once in the house, he wanted to break out all of tactical gear to show off his police equipment. He left his loaded unlocked gun in the table next to the bed. He asked if we could cuddle. I agreed bc it seemed sweet. Next thing I know, he was all over me, hands down my pants, my pants off… I kept telling him I didn’t want to have sex. He kept moving forward. He raped me. I wanted to leave. Kept babbling about needing to take care of my dog… My dog… I needed my dog. He sat me on the couch and showed me a war book with dead bodies in every page… So I’d know what war looks like. Then He locked me in and wouldn’t let me leave til I slept three hours at his house… Despite my babbling, shaking and being incoherent and crying. I set the alarmon my phone and was laying wide awake with my eyes very slightly open so I could keep an eye on him while he slept. He was spooning me and every time I moved, he would grip me tighter. Finally my alarm went off. I jumped up, threw on my shoes and he unlocked the door.
He later admitted he raped me but he didn’t feel it was rape bc I didn’t fight enough and said he likes when girls fight back hard. Then he told me I should have used the gun to shoot him in self defense. I have this on recording. The state will not file charges. He also gave me an std and I had a 1700 er bill… Which was 7000, but the female doctor knocked the bill down bc she felt sorry for me. I found out 4 other girls accused him of rape and the state refuses to bring him to trial bc he is a state trooper. (now ex state trooper)
This happened a year ago. I moved. He found out where I live and showed up at my complex to apologize to me. There was a girl there who knew what happened (one of his friends) and she started tweaking out, screaming and freaking out on my behalf bc I was frozen.
Today I got into the elevator, she was there. A county cop who is male and lives in our building also got on the elevator. I started having a panic attack. She calmed me down. She doesn’t know her boyfriend sent me dick pics and sex offers for 4 months after I told him this *friend* of his raped me. I had to block everyone in this group… It’s mainly ex military and both current and ex cops/troopers.

I had a friend in high school who would make overt advances on me. I made it clear I wasn’t interested, but he persisted, to the point of openly expressing jealousy in another male friend I had. Between classes, he asked me to the junior prom, and I told him no, I have a date already. He put two and two together, screamed in rage, and threw his lunch box against the wall, breaking it.
I remember power-walking to my next class, the only thought on my mind being “that could’ve been me.”

A mother was shot twice on Sunday night after confronting a carload of
teenage boys who were harassing her daughter at a bus stop.
The daughter was sitting at the Pico-Union bus stop with a friend when a
group of males approached and “asked them for a date,” says Preciado.
An argument transpired after the girls refused, and the suspects drove
off. The victim then called her mother, who came to pick her up.
According to Preciado, the suspects returned to the bus stop after the
mother had arrived and fired several shots from a vehicle, hitting both
mother and daughter.
