LOS ANGELES—The widow of a sheriff’s sergeant who was shot to death while responding to a call of a burglar and the mother of a murder victim who was dumped off a cliff in Azusa Canyon are calling on the public to support a recall effort for Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón.

“George Gascón, your days are numbered,” Tania Owen, the widow of Sgt. Steve Owen, said during a news conference on May 26 outside the Hall of Justice in downtown Los Angeles. “We will have a new election next year and someone else who is for the victims will be the head of the District Attorney’s Office.”
