UPDATE: 04/02/2022 A friend of Shorty Rossi sent me this image. I don't know who it's from or to. I've never received it or seen it until they sent it to me. Interesting information in the image. Seems many people know about Rossi's dishonesty in Mexico and the US.
Just looked at his Wikipedia page. It's full of total lies just like his book.
UPDATE: I finally pulled up more documents. Shorty stated in his book he was found guilty of attempted murder because he shot people with a gun. He bragged that everyone shot their guns but only he with his guns actually shot someone. He bragged he carried guns in high school. Not true.
He was found guilty of 245(a)(1) "assault by means which would produce injury," GBI (great bodily injury) ADW (assault deadly weapon) "not firearm." Lying fraud, fake wanna be "attempted murderer," fake gang member, didn't shoot anyone, didn't fire a gun! Also not a gang member. Definitely not the "four foot gang leader of a black gang."
Here are a few documents. I have lots more to post later. He did try to change his name. One fake reason in 2008 was "religious." In his book he admitted he was raised Catholic but didn't believe. He stated he later became "religious" as a reason to change his name in 2010. His name change is for "religious," and "entertainment" reasons.

_______________________
I just read Shorty's book. In Shorty's book be lies to make himself appear to be a high school drop out. He admits he went to high school David Starr Jordan High School in Long Beach but states he transferred to Fremont High after someone tried to kill him. Then he states he dropped out of Fremont. He actually graduated from David Starr Jordan High School and was a member of the journalism club. Most people lie about the opposite. I guess this is part of his "story" to sell himself as a motivational speaker. I just remembered that in interviews Shorty states he graduated from Fremont High.
Shorty lies about his criminal sentence in his book. He stated he was found guilty of attempted murder, attempted robbery, some gun charges but was found not guilty of conspiracy. He was actually was found not guilty of attempted murder. He was found guilty of attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon but the weapon was not a gun. Shorty lies and states he was guilty of attempted murder when he wasn't. I assume the "story" sells more "motivational speaking engagements." The conspiracy charges also blow a hole in his story that he was just picked up by friends to go for a ride and meet girls and then shit caused by others went down.
In the book Shorty tries to argue that his real middle name is Luigi. He says he asked his mom what is his real name. He said he has two birth certificates. She said it was Melvin Louis Rossi or Melvin Luigi Rossi. There is only one birth certificate. His name is "Melvyn L Rossi." If I were to order the document, it would say "Melvyn Louis Rossi." He has the same name as his dad which is why he's the II. Here is the text of his birth certificate. Only a certain number of characters can be in the text version. They abbreviate the middle name then last name. His first arrest records in 1988 show Melvyn Louis Rossi. I assume he just wants to sound Italian.

Shorty stated he legally changed his name. Per his DUI arrest he didn't. He also was on probation then violated again. In the book he said his DUI scared him straight. Not so. Also, notice "fugitive status." That means he failed to appear. Case status is "warrant." That appears to mean there is a warrant out for his arrest. I just pulled this up today.

In the book Shorty says he's a business man, an entrepreneur, he would never go bankrupt. He went bankrupt personally when he had Short Entertainment. He said he started the Watts Youth Foundation which became Shorty's Charity. Shorty's Charity has never filed a 990. They will lose their non-profit IRS standing soon.
Shorty falsely stated that LA Animal Services, LA Animal Control render the dogs they kill then sell that to feed cows. That is false. LA Animal Services, LA Animal Control pay D&D to take and render the animals. Rendered animals can never be made into human or animal feed. It gets shipped to Asia to feed farmed shrimp and fish. Then Asia sells us that shrimp and fish. Shorty lets loose false stories about his life and other matters.
Shorty basically brags that he was the Lord of all the gangs in California prison. I have a feeling that's not true either. Who would really know when the witnesses are all incarcerated.
Shorty also bragged that while everyone else shot their guns in the shootout, only his bullets hit people. He forgets that a bystander was accidentally shot. That means he was aiming at a gang member and accidentally shot an innocent bystander. Two people were shot so I assume Shorty is taking credit for both shots.
The one thing I learned was that young offenders under the age of 25 can go to California Youth Authority to try to turn their lives around. I didn't know that program existed. I think it's a good thing. Unfortunately if they are still serving their sentence by the age of 25 they go to adult prison with hard core life long criminals.
Shorty states he enjoyed his time at California Youth Authority and everyone there loved him. Then why did he sue them twice while incarcerated there? He lost both times. He sued for prisoner's rights.

One thing he omits is that he worked for another little person casting agency. In the book he allegedly started one all by himself and became successful. In reality he went bankrupt the first time he started one.

I heard Shorty got married. Turns out that Melvyn Louis Rossi aka Shorty Rossi, Melvin L Rossi, Shorty Frances Luigi Rossi, Folsom Prison Inmate E22250, bankrupt business man...was just playing a joke. He said the purpose was to make everyone look stupid. He said he posts about his personal events and gets no shares but if he posts he's getting married, it goes nano viral. He played the joke to just make a great ha ha ha against everyone. Well, that joke seems to have backfired on him.
If I hadn't heard that he'd gotten married, I wouldn't have decided to finally check out his real history. I was curious before because I always felt he might have been a BS'er but that tiny insignificant news made me finally do some dd, due diligence. I felt sorry for the woman who was allegedly his bride. She looked miserable in the pic like she was being held at gunpoint at the edge of a cliff.
His real history is that he's fabricated almost all of his life story. He wasn't born a poor black boy, member of the Bloods gang in the hood with a mean daddy. He doesn't have a rags to riches story. He came from a solid middle class plus family then destroyed his own life by being an ass. He went bankrupt on his own. He fabricated the life story to get acting jobs and sell himself as a "motivational speaker." His BS story is how he got PitBoss. I can't believe he begged me to share those links far and wide to all my pages, groups, friends and I did months before there was a show. If I'd known he was a fraud, I wouldn't have done that. What a bunch of BS.

In Shorty's book he says Donald Trump's "The Art of the Deal" is his bible. He memorized the 11 steps to success. He wanted to be Donald Trump. Trump is a loser who took at least six of his businesses into bankruptcy. Shorty went bankrupt so he is following in Trump's footsteps.

I heard today that Shorty Rossi got married. I then was curious as to who he really was. He states he was a Blood gang member who grew up in a bad neighborhood, got in trouble, went to prison... Turns out that's not quite the case.
Melvyn Louis Rossi was born on February 10, 1969. His father is Melvyn Louis Rossi born September 18, 1936 in Bexas, Texas. His mother is Dixie Lee Brown born March 13, 1937 in Los Angeles, California. They were married January 13, 1962 in Los Angeles, California.
His parents lived in Reseda until 1984. They owned a house here 18320 Lorne St, Reseda, CA. They bought it in 1974 and sold it in 1984. Then they moved to Long Beach, California then to San Antonio, Texas.

Sonny went to Thomas A Edison High School in San Antonio, Texas, USA class of 1954. Here are some pics of him in electric class and as Vice President of his Junior Class. He doesn't seem quite as miserable as his son makes him out to be. He's smiling and joined groups in high school. If the kids were that mean to him, I doubt he would have joined groups or been the VP of his Junior class. Maybe Shorty made up that story like he did the others.

His dad Sonny and mother Dixie Rossi are very well known as car customizers, restoration experts in San Antonio, Texas where he has a shop. They've worked on some amazing cars, engines, racing cars.

Melvyn Rossi stated he went to John C Freemont High School in South LA graduating in 1987. He actually went to David Starr Jordan High School, Long Beach, California, USA graduating in 1987. Here's his squeaky clean high school graduation photo. His real name is Melvyn. I see no one last name Rossi at John C Freemont High School. Why all the stories? I guess it plays well for his speaking fees where he's a poor black child raised in a gang infested area, a member of the Bloods....who turned himself around.

He states he was sentenced to prison for attempted murder. That's not true. He said he was underage at the time which is false. He was 18 almost 19. He was originally charged with attempted murder. That part is true. He wasn't found guilty of attempted murder.
https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/He stated he was sentenced to ten years in prison at the age of 18 while he was living in Watts. He was born February 10, 1969 in Los Angeles, California. That would be 1987 when he was living at home in Long Beach, California and going to high school there. He was found guilty November 1988. That would mean he didn't get out of prison until 1998.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0744263/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_smPulled up his criminal record. His middle name is Louis not Luigi. He was charged, there was a preliminary hearing but no trial per the record. I assume he cut a plea deal. Per the docs he was almost 19 when this happened. He was an adult. You can go to lacourt.org and pull up files by case number.

Here is a Los Angeles Times article about when he was first arrested and charged.
"Shots Fired From Pickup Lead to Arrest of 5 Youths
January 13, 1988|TERRY PRISTIN
Five teenagers were charged Tuesday in connection with a five-hour series of shooting incidents that left at least two people injured, authorities said.
Sheriff's Detective Mike Griffin said the five were involved in at least six separate incidents Jan. 7 as they drove between downtown Los Angeles and South Gate, firing shots from a pickup truck.
Griffin said the first of the events took place when the youths began firing at a motorcyclist at 6th and Olive streets.
They were arrested by California Highway Patrol officers after the patrolmen witnessed the attempted robbery and shooting of Filiberto Rojas Castillo, 32, at a Huntington Park gas station. Castillo, who was wounded in the abdomen, was listed in good condition, Griffin said.
Earlier, Charles Johnson, 28, was shot and wounded in the chest as he walked down a street in South Gate. He was hospitalized for two days and released.
In a third incident, Lesley Dee Baggett, 42, managed to escape gunfire while walking in the 500 block of Boyle Avenue, Griffin said.
Griffin said detectives believe that other victims may have been struck by bullets fired from one of two weapons confiscated from the suspects, a .22-caliber rifle and a .32-caliber revolver.
"They hit them. We just haven't found them yet," the detective said.
In South Gate Municipal Court Tuesday,
Melvin Louis Rossi, of Los Angeles, Louis Howard Price, of Perris, and Donte Deon Warren, of Los Angeles pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempted murder and two counts of attempted robbery. All are 18.
Two juveniles, a 17-year-old and a 16-year-old, were charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and attempted robbery and were scheduled to be arraigned today in Compton Juvenile Court.
The juveniles and Warren attend Cleveland High School in the San Fernando Valley, the district attorney's office said. Griffin said it is unclear whether they are gang members."
Turns out Rossi was acquitted of attempted murder. He was found guilty of attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
Article in Santa Cruz Sentinel November 10, 1988.
"NORWALK A 19-year-old man faces from 10 to 13 years in state prison after his conviction on five criminal counts in connection with a rampage of assaults on pedestrians last January. Melvin Louis Rossi was convicted of the attempted robbery of Filiberto Castillo, 32, who was shot in the stomach during a Walnut-area shooting, which also left another man wounded last January. The jury also convicted Rossi of conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, Deputy District Attorney Margaret Hay said. Rossi was acquitted on two counts of attempted murder, Hay added."
Shorty states there was an article stating "four foot tall leader of a black gang." I can't find it in any archive. In fact the articles stated "it is unclear whether they are gang members."
Shorty Rossi did appeal his conviction. He lost. It was affirmed.

Shorty Rossi appeal second appeals court los angeles california affirmed |
Here in California if you are with people who rob someone or commit murder, you are guilty of the same crime just by being with them even if you didn't touch the person. That is what happened to Shorty.
It appears they put him in with children when he was arrested even though he was almost 19. They kept him with juveniles until he turned 25.

Pitboss was 2010 to 2013. He started his little people casing agency in 2000. Shorty Rossi went bankrupt in 2002 with no assets. I removed his social security number from all documents. They were in the originals. After Pit Boss he worked for a little person agent. That is the person who sued him for taking domain names.

In this LA Times article he said he was making $350,000 a year and lived in San Francisco. He also lied and said he grew up in a South LA housing project.
"Rossi, who grew up in a South Los Angeles housing project, doesn't protest too much. In 2006, Short Entertainment brought in $350,000 and is on track to more than double that this year.
"It's become a hip thing to hire a little person," said Allison Queal, his 3-foot-11 business partner."
http://articles.latimes.com/2007/mar/17/business/fi-short17In 2012 he was sued by the US government for student loan debt. He didn't reply and lost by default. They now have a judgment against him for about $5,000. No wonder he's in Mexico.
Shorty Frances Luigi Rossi also sued under the Americans with Disability Act. He lost. Plaintiffs had to pay Defendant's costs.

This lawsuit is for conversion which basically means taking something for one purpose and keeping it or using it for another purpose.
While Melvyn Rossi was in California state prison he sued the prison system twice for prisoner civil rights. He proceeded as indigent and represented himself. Both cases were dismissed as he did not file things timely or properly. Based on the docket the Judge gave him many chances to rectify the situation. It appears Melvyn just lost interest in the case and probably didn't have any real claims. These are just the parties. I found no documents.
As he was 18 when charged actually almost 19 I don't know why he was in the California Youth Authority system. Did they put him in with kids under 18 so he would be safer? He seems to have sued the prison work, education program, hard to tell.
