O’Connell, 69, was a priest for 45 years and a native of Ireland, according to Angelus News, the archdiocese news outlet. Pope Francis named him one of several auxiliary bishops of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the largest in the US, in 2015. Paramedics pronounced O’Connell dead at the scene, the sheriff’s department said. The archdiocese said O’Connell lived in Hacienda Heights but it was not immediately clear if he was found at his home or elsewhere.
“I’ve never ever felt more understood by anyone in this world,” she said, adding that she first thought he had died of a heart attack or some medical emergency. News of his killing stunned her. “He was a peacemaker and had a passion serving those in need while improving our community,” Sheriff Robert Luna said.
