Avengers and Captain America star Frank Grillo slammed the rising crime in Democrat-controlled Los Angeles after his boxing trainer, Azuma Bennett, was “shot and killed over nothing.” The actor also called on “the powers that be” in Los Angeles to “get off their asses and fix this shit.”
“He made everybody feel good about training,” Grillo told KNBC of Bennett. “I don’t know what’s happened to Los Angeles that a beautiful guy like this gets shot and killed over nothing.”

Bennett, an Australian native, was shot “at least eight times,” and died while being taken to a local hospital, according to a report by New York Post.
“I’m glad this story is traveling. Maybe we can force the powers that be to get off their asses and fix this shit,” Grillo wrote in an Instagram story, reacting to the news of him slamming the rising crime in Los Angeles. “We in LA need to wake up to what has become a common occurrence.”
