The next meeting is on Tuesday,
March 1st, 6:00 pm
Bayview Community Room, 201 Williams Ave. (cross street Newhall )
********************
Homicide:
On January 30th at 8PM, Bayview Officers responded to the 900 block of
Connecticut regarding a call of a shooting. Upon arrival they located
the 33 year old male victim with a gunshot wound to the torso.
Paramedics responded and rendered aid. The victim was transported to
SFGH where, unfortunately, his injuries proved fatal.
Bayview officers on scene conducted an investigation that led to the
arrest of the suspect and the recovery of the suspected weapon within
hours of the incident.
(SFPD Case # 110093238)
Incidents of Interest:
Bayview Station is deeply committed to everything we can to see that the
district’s two year trend in the reduction of homicides continues for a
third year and beyond. In the first 35 days of 2011, Bayview cops have
already taken 11 guns off the streets of our district. Every gun we
seize is a potential tragedy averted. Here are a few of those incidents:
On January 4th at 7:50 PM, Bayview units responded to the area of
Ingalls and Fitzgerald regarding a shooting that had just occurred. Two
victims with gunshot wounds were located and transported to S.F.G.H
where they were treated for their (thankfully) non-life threatening
injuries. While certain units were securing the scene and collecting
evidence, others were scouring the area in search of witnesses. These
officers got a description of the suspect vehicle and immediately had
headquarters put a “B.O.L” (Be On the Lookout) for the vehicle within
our city as well as neighboring counties.
Within 20 minutes, a Daly City unit notified our dispatch that they had
stopped a vehicle matching the description our officers provided within
their city limits at Whitter and Mission Sts. Numerous Bayview units
responded, bringing a witness to the incident with them, to conduct a
cold show on the vehicle and occupants. The vehicle and its driver were
positively identified.
A search of the vehicle revealed a loaded .45 caliber handgun AND
a .loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol. The driver and all five passengers
were transported to Bayview Station where they were identified and
interviewed. As a result, two of the suspects were booked that evening
with an investigation on the remaining subjects still on going. (SFPD
Case # 110011694)
*******************
On January 21st at 7:45PM, Bayview Housing Officers Hildebrand, Correa,
Pashby, and Martinez responded to the 1200 block of Revere to disperse a
crowd that had formed around a fist fight between several individuals.
As they drove on Hawes approaching Revere, they saw a subject walking
away from the area. The subject appeared agitated and a bit tattered,
causing the officers to believe that he had been involved in the very
fight that they were responding to quell.
As they drove up to the suspect, he put his hand inside his jacket
pocket and grabbed onto something. Officer Martinez recognized the
outline of the “something” that formed as the fabric of the jacket
stretched around the suspect’s grip (and Officer Martinez has seen his
fair share of guns in all means of concealment).
Martinez yelled out a warning to his fellow officers, the sound of which
equated to that of starter pistol to the suspect. He immediately took
off running with our officers in pursuit, never once removing his hand
from his jacket pocket, continuously glancing behind him to gauge the
location of the cops. Eventually, the disheartening realization that he
was not about to outrun them came over him and he dropped to the ground
to surrender. This was only after he attempted to ditch the gun. It’s
not quite clear why he even tried since the officers never lost sight of
him as he ran; which also meant that they never lost sight of his hand
which they clearly observed removing that gun from his pocket and
tossing it into an alcove on the 1200 block of Quesada….. (Oh well, one
should never lose hope, right?). He was booked at Bayview Station. The
gun, of course, was recovered and booked in as well. (SFPD Case #
110065287)
*******************
On January 21st at 8:45PM, Officers Cader and Gummo responded to a Shot
Spotter activation on George Ct. The Shot Spotter is a sophisticated
system of satellite dishes arranged around the city that are tuned to
recognize the sound of gunfire and pinpoint it’s location of origin.
This information is immediately relayed to law enforcement for rapid
response.
The officers parked on Oakdale and approached the location on foot. They
saw a car with three occupants parked at the dead end of George Ct. They
snuck up and concealed themselves behind a 4’ concrete wall with the car
in question just a stones throw away. They could not only see the
occupants clearly, but hear their conversation as the windows on the car
were rolled down. The subject in the driver’s seat was fidgeting with
something in his lap as the front and rear passengers were leaning in to
look. The officers saw the subject pull on the item and simultaneously
heard the ominous sound of a gun being charged. This is not a sound that
can be mistaken for anything else. If you are wondering what it sounds
like, you have undoubtedly heard it before in the movies. It’s when the
slide is pulled back and suddenly released on a semi-auto to bring a
round into the chamber. Its sounds just like that in real life.
Anyway, that sound was enough to raise the hair on the necks of the
officers so they immediately emerged from their hiding spot to confront
the suspects at gunpoint. The two passengers quickly yielded to the
command to show their hands. The suspect in the driver’s seat, however,
refused and continued to manipulate the item he was holding. The
officers gave orders over and over for him to show them his hands. Each
time he refused and at one point began to lean down into the car (which
is heart stopping for officers, by the way). Eventually, after about 45
seconds of non- compliance, which no doubt felt a lot longer to the
cops, the suspect also raised two empty hands. What a relief / that'll
work!
By then, other units were on scene and were able to take all three
subject into custody without further incident. The .45 caliber handgun
was located on the floorboard of the car, cocked with the hammer back,
and a magazine (the cartridge that holds the bullets) laying across it.
Yikes! (Case #110065550)

“Every home should have a shredder; do NOT throw financial or
personal documents (bank statements or income tax returns, for
example) in the garbage but rather, ensure that they are shredded.
