Pico-Union parish unites behind family after father is charged with killing his sons

When Father Mario Torres told the grieving mother he’d pray for her and the two little boys she had lost, she asked him to remember someone else.

Their father, she told him. He needed the prayers.

The boys, Jimmy, 4, and Osmani Gramajo, 11, were shot Oct. 11 a few blocks away from St. Thomas the Apostle Church in the Pico-Union neighborhood of Los Angeles, where Torres is pastor. Police believe their father killed them before turning the gun on himself. He was in custody while receiving hospital treatment.
