DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The L.A. County Board of Supervisors voted 3 to 2 in favor of a boycott of Arizona in a meeting Tuesday.
It came down to the vote of Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, whose district is mostly African American and Latino and some of his constituents voiced their opinion.
The grandmother of murdered teen Jamiel Shaw Jr. was in tears as she spoke to the Board of Supervisors.
"But you don't know what it feels like to see your grandson laying on the ground full of blood," she said.
Jamiel Shaw Jr. was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant who was released from jail.
"My son would be a live right now if Arizona's law was in effect in California," Jamiel Shaw Sr. said.
