![Victim William Clay Settle [image via Facebook]](https://www.theavtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/William-Settle-FB-pic-300x236.jpg)
Myron Urssery, 29, was arrested by gang detectives around 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, according to LASD inmate records. Urssery was charged Friday, Sept. 23, with one count of murder with gang and gun allegations in connection with Settle’s death, Jane Robison of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said Monday.
Urssery pleaded not guilty to the charges on Friday and his bail was set at $2.09 million, Robison said.
Urssery’s arrest came about two weeks after a $20,000 reward was offered by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for information on the case. Further information on Urssery’s arrest was not immediately available, and authorities did not say whether the reward money led to the arrest.
Settle was shot about 1:20 a.m. Aug. 13 on a walkway at an apartment complex at 1710 East Avenue J-4 in Lancaster, sheriff’s officials said. He died at the scene.
Settle, a former all-city tailback at San Fernando High School, was training with the state-run California Conservation Corps and hoped to become a firefighter, his parents told the Board of Supervisors earlier this month.
Sallie Rouse said her son had earned his second-class firefighter certification and was looking forward to the next step in his training.
A preliminary hearing is set for October 5 at the Antelope Valley courthouse to determine if there is enough evidence to require Urssery to stand trial for Settle’s murder, Robison said.

Myron is my wife’s cousin. Nice kid but turned out wrong. Pretty much the whole families crazy. They were all apart of a religious cult, the leader of the cult was apparently a child molester. A Lot of the family is nice. I’m really firing at my in laws who should be behind bars themselves (my brother in law is great love him to death and some of the other family). With many of them though in laws included), you can go to church or be on drugs or even become a BLM terrorist. Anything but not Jewish. According to them that’s the unforgivable sin. My in laws try to break us up so many times and even loosen the wheel on my tire so it could fall off when I drive. (yes I know about that) most of the family is good but I heard talk so to those who talked sorry but water’s thicker than blood on this one. Never the less I’m just here to take a shot at my anti Semetic in laws this article was just an excuse to do it. Hope it reaches them and cult leader

I pray that the Lord have mercy on you…..God Bless you
Eve says
The devil love to use people who are bitter and sit with a idle mind. You have no respect and I hope Gods mercy find you before his judgment is released. The devil is an accuser of the brethren, you act just like your father… The devil is the father of lies… Keep following in your father’ s foot steps… Thank you for taking the time to speak about my family, we do appreciate you counting us worthy of your thoughtful words. But please don’t think because you have a beanie on your head – you are somebody’s judge. God is able to reveal your mess that he covered up…
Moshe Borisoff says
I apologize. In no ways was I trying to be hurtful towards the family. I’ve had some very unfortunate experiences. So yes you can see why I’m bitter. Now Eve I don’t think I know you, so you don’t know my father or about the “beanie on my head”. But yes I can understand why you said that if the shoe was on the other foot. I shouldn’t have said those things, so I am apologizing for my comments. Hopefully, Myron is really innocent. My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Settle. I apologize and I was wrong to post my comment in a public forum like this, especially when it’s really not to the people who responded.

Well you got your wish. I did not realize you were so ignorant!!! You are the most racist and hypocritical person I have ever met in my life. Why don’t you mention the many times your in-laws have given you and your wife things including buying you a bed that you could not afford to buy your wife, money you asked for and was freely given to you and her and you know you did not have to pay it back. You judge this family because they did not convert to Judaism and call us Anti-Semitic when no one called you a name nor said they did not like Jews. This is the United States of America and we all are free to worship God as we please. Please tell of the many “Shabat” meals and prayers I sat down with you and my daughter and tell me how many times your parents or family came to Shabat, and you.say we are “Anti-Semitic? That’s ridiculous! No one tried to kill you that’s in your head. I have been in law enforcement for 36 years, no record. When you post things be truthful. I should be afraid of you when you are not on your medication for your Tourettes and ticking, you get mighty crazy and my daughter has to deal with it. You say we tried to break you up take responsibility for your own marriage. My daughter and I were so close and you destroyed it, I hope you are happy. My daughter is working on her Master Degree and you still have the same “type” of job you had when you two first got married almost 18 years if the old marriage still counts. Do not get on this website and act like their are no dysfunctions in your family. Leave my nephew alone because you do not know him or this family because you and your wife did not come to family functions and “good riddance” and let the law, the prosecutors, and the jury do their job. No one asked for your judgment or opinion. The so called “cult church” is commonly known as “The Body or Church of Jesus Christ” in which you were a member for at least 10 years, and you were in the choir, usher, rapped, etc. Your religion is your truth, my religion is my truth, we still have one thing in common, we both believe in GOD. Just because you no longer believe in Jesus you are showing a bad example of an Orthodox Jew. I believe you do not like Black people even though you are married to one and I have always thought that by your actions. Most Jews I know do not act like you and they have integrity, which you lack and they really take care of their wives. You are the exception and do not try to better yourself, however you think you are better than others. My daughter is from this “crazy family.” I can keep going with trash on this website and expose you for your fake hateful self but I will stop and let God handle you and me.

John Bonoff says
Glad they got him
Frances H. Blount says
William was my young cousin and I am overjoyed seeing this news. I live in Ohio and unable to be close to my California cousins. Rewards offer a much-needed incentive.
Wish he would be shot and left for dead says
Money talks!!

Whatever happened to you are innocent until proven guilty? And it may be that he is guilty, but let the law handle it then God.
