#2If the goal is to prevent people from seeing the image, why go to the local news? Now that the story has been picked up by online media, it will go viral.

#3It's a little south of the marker on the map in the article, but it is still on Google Maps.

#4So, has Google actually refused to remove the image? Or just not moved fast enough?

#5Pretty amazing that something like this is basically a statistical certainty with the amount of imagery we generate of the world.

Okay, ya I just found it as well. It's actually more South-East of the marker, and you have to look for the police car to locate it.
I don't think this is an unreasonable request to remove this map tile, it's a pretty clear image of a dead with cops standing nearby.

"Barrera said he plans to formally complain to Google and to lobby state lawmakers for their help in removing the image."
Don't believe he's actually asked Google yet to take it down.

Yet he's talked to CNN. I'm willing to bet the causality here went the other way. The reporter got a tip about a murder scene (or whatever it was) on google maps, did a little digging to figure out who it was, called the folks involved, and ran with the first lede that would draw links.
