SF: POLICE INTERRUPT SUSPECTED NORTENO GANG INITIATION, ARREST ONE
SAN FRANCISCO (BCN)
San Francisco police officers on Friday broke up an apparent gang initiation ceremony in the Mission district, police said today.
Plainclothes officers interrupted about 30 people, including suspected Norteno gang members, who were gathered shortly after midnight Friday in the middle of Utah Street near 25th Street, according to police.
The area is just east of the city's gang injunction area against the Nortenos, which extends west from Potrero Avenue.
A scuffle broke out in the crowd, indicating to police a common Norteno gang initiation in which an aspiring gang member is "jumped."
Officers then detained nine people, including the alleged initiate, an 18-year-old San Francisco man who suffered a cut nose and a swollen eye, police said.
Jeffrey Almengor, 19, of San Francisco, was booked for possession of a firearm allegedly found in his car, which was parked nearby, according to police.

Man Pleads Guilty To Robbing Nine banks
SF: MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO UNARMED ROBBERIES OF NINE BANKS IN THE CITY
SAN FRANCISCO (BCN)
A San Francisco man pleaded guilty in federal court in San Francisco today to the unarmed robbery of nine banks in the city between November 2007 and March 2008.
James Burge, 52, entered the guilty plea before U.S. District Judge Marilyn Patel in San Francisco.
He will be sentenced by Patel on June 29. Burge faces a theoretical maximum sentence of 20 years for each count, but the actual penalty will be determined after consideration of federal sentencing guidelines.
U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello said Burge was unarmed during the robberies, but gave tellers notes saying he had a gun.
Burge was initially charged in a criminal complaint in March 2008 with two bank robberies, but an indictment in November expanded the number to nine.
An FBI affidavit filed with the complaint in March 2008 stated that Burge confessed the robberies to police after giving up his right to a lawyer. Burge said he robbed the banks to support a heroin habit, the affidavit said.
The banks included branches of Trans Pacific National Bank, Bank of the West, Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America and U.S. Bank, according to the indictment.
Russoniello said Burge pleaded guilty to all nine counts without a plea agreement.

One arrested, one hospitalized, following shooting in Tenderloin
By Will Reisman
Examiner Staff Writer 3/3/09
SAN FRANCISCO – A man was hospitalized last night with life-threatening injuries after he was shot in the Tenderloin neighborhood by a suspect who was later arrested.
The two men were seen engaging in a physical altercation at the corner of Ellis and Jones streets when officers intervened at about 7:50 p.m. on Monday, according to Sgt. Lyn Tomioka of the San Francisco Police Department.
By the time police broke up the fracas, they realized that one of the men had been shot, Tomioka said. They arrested the other man, who was found to have a firearm on his possession. His identity has not been released yet.
Following the shooting, the victim was walking around and talking to officers, but his health suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with life-threatening injuries, Tomioka said.
Tomioka said investigators are trying to determine what caused the altercation.
On February 23, a woman was killed in a drive-by shooting at Turk and Taylor streets, three blocks from where the two men were seen fighting last night. No arrests have been made in the death of Laticia Hunter, a 33-year-old Sacramento native.
Also on Monday night, one youth was hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries after being shot near the Bernal Heights neighborhood.
The boy, whose name has not been released, was walking with three of his friends on the 100 block of Highland Avenue, when an unidentified suspect got out of a car and opened fire on the group, police said.
The boy was transferred to a nearby hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, police said. No one has been arrested and the case is under investigation.

Seven hours later, police were called to the Hippy Hill area of Golden Gate Park, where they found a park visitor suffering life-threatening stab wounds. The victim was rushed to San Francisco General Hospital.
The stabbing was followed by two nonfatal shootings in the Mission District, and two more knifings in the Tenderloin.
On Saturday, two people were shot at the corner of 19th and Capp Streets just after 8 p.m. They were rushed to the hospital and are expected to survive, police said. No arrests were made. Twenty minutes later, a nonfatal stabbing occurred at the corner of Eddy and Taylor streets in the Tenderloin.

SFPD Asks For Help In 2008 Homicide
S.F. police seek help in probe of 2008 killing
Jaxon Van Derbeken, Chronicle Staff Writer
Friday, February 20, 2009
(02-19) 14:25 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco police are asking for the public's help as they investigate the shooting death of a man last March that the medical examiner recently determined was a homicide.
Jimy Reyes-Navas, 21, of San Francisco was found just before 4 a.m. on March 2, bleeding on the sidewalk in the 1900 block of Palou Avenue in the Bayview district. A handgun was at his side.
Reyes-Navas never regained consciousness and died six days later.
Last month, the medical examiner's office ruled the death a homicide, based on its conclusion that Reyes-Navas had given no indication he was suicidal and had no access to a gun. It also said his DNA had not been found on the gun handle.
The only witness on the street told police that he had heard the gunshot but hadn't been looking in the direction from which it came. The witness said that when he turned around, Reyes-Navas was lying on the sidewalk and no one was around.
Police said Reyes-Navas did not appear to have been robbed.
He was a day laborer from Honduras who had not worked for six weeks, investigators said. Reyes-Navas had been staying with his brother on Palou, and went out about an hour before the shooting after a night of drinking beer.
"I'd really like to get to the bottom of this - we have a couple of witnesses who heard but didn't see anything, but we need people to come forward if they did see anything and to contact us at the homicide detail," said police Lt. Mike Stasko.
Homicide investigators can be reached at (415) 553-1145.

1 Dead, 5 Injured In Tenderloin Drive-By Shooting
1 dead, 5 wounded in S.F. Tenderloin shooting
By TERRY COLLINS, Associated Press Writer
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
(02-24) 16:59 PST San Francisco, CA (AP) --
Police say they hope surveillance cameras will provide clues into a late night drive-by shooting Monday that left one woman dead and five other people wounded in the tough Tenderloin district.
The slain woman was identified as Leticia Hunter, 33, of Sacramento by the coroner's office. No arrests have been made .
Someone riding in a silver-colored Mercedes Benz SUV opened fire on a busy street corner, Police Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said Tuesday.
After the shooting, police chased a sports-utility vehicle across the Bay Bridge toward Oakland at speeds of more than 110 mph speed but they could not catch it.
Early Tuesday, Oakland police recovered a burned-out vehicle matching the description of the SUV involved in the shooting. Tomioka said it was unknown whether the vehicle had been stolen.
The wounded were hospitalized with what Tomioka called non life-threatening injuries.
It is not known whether the victims were bystanders or targets.
Investigators are interviewing witnesses, and they plan to review footage from surveillance cameras posted in the historic, yet crime-riddled neighborhood to look for leads in the shooting, Tomioka said.

Someone riding in a silver-colored Mercedes Benz SUV opened fire on a busy street corner, Police Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said Tuesday.
After the shooting, police chased a sports-utility vehicle across the Bay Bridge toward Oakland at speeds of more than 110 mph speed but they could not catch it.
Early Tuesday, Oakland police recovered a burned-out vehicle matching the description of the SUV involved in the shooting. Tomioka said it was unknown whether the vehicle had been stolen.
The wounded were hospitalized with what Tomioka called non life-threatening injuries.
It is not known whether the victims were bystanders or targets.
Investigators are interviewing witnesses, and they plan to review footage from surveillance cameras posted in the historic, yet crime-riddled neighborhood to look for leads in the shooting, Tomioka said.

Man Stabbed To Death In The Tenderloin
Surveillance video leads S.F. police to suspect in stabbing death
Henry K. Lee,Jaxon Van Derbeken, Chronicle Staff Writers
(01-15) 12:46 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- Footage from store surveillance cameras led San Francisco police to a suspect in the stabbing death of a man on a Tenderloin street, police said today.
The two men began fighting shortly before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday on Turk Street near Jones Street, and one of them stabbed the other.
The victim, identified as Darnell Curry, 31, crossed Jones Street to where an ambulance was parked for an unrelated call, police said. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In reviewing surveillance video from a cell-phone store and a Salvation Army outlet, police saw the stabbing and the assailant running away, investigators said. Plainclothes officers found a man with a bloody knife who matched the attacker's description, police said.
Inspector Dennis Maffei said the man who was arrested, Tommy Thomas, 63, has an extensive criminal history.
"He claimed it was self-defense," Maffei said. "But his history is very long, very violent, including a couple of attempted murders and some violent sexual offenses."
Thomas was pushing wheelchair at the time of the fight, Maffei said.
"There was a lot of back-and-forth stuff," the inspector said. "The victim grabbed a plastic advertising frame and threw it at the suspect. He was stabbed shortly after that."
