Bell Gardens Mayor Had Squabbled with His Wife Over Finances

The wife, Lyvette Crespo, says she shot her husband because he was beating their son. But the L.A. Times reports that there was squabbling in the household over finances, and Mayor Crespo's brother sounds like he's not buying the wife's story.

Here, "Bell Gardens mayor's wife shot him to stop him from beating son, sources say":
Authorities have not released a possible motive for the shooting, but Daniel Crespo's brother, William, told KTLA-TV that the couple had been arguing over finances Tuesday.

William Crespo recalled his brother telling him: "'She’s over here fighting that I spend too much money.'"

He also described his brother as being "really tired" after having worked days and nights.

"She won't let him sleep," William Crespo said of his brother's wife, Levette.

Daniel Crespo, 45, was elected to the City Council in 2001. Aside from his duties as mayor, he worked as a Los Angeles County probation officer for more than a decade, according to the city.
