The victim saw two subjects exit an apartment building and walk toward a black two-door sedan. 

The male suspect approached the victim and asked something to the effect of, “What are you looking at?” The victim did not understand what else the male suspect was saying, as he does not understand English fluently. The suspect punched the victim’s right cheek with a closed fist, which caused the victim to temporarily lose consciousness and fall to the ground. 

The victim regained consciousness and went to the hood of the suspect’s vehicle, to prevent the suspect from leaving. The suspect shouted something in English to the victim, and the suspect “pushed (him) with the car.” The victim was adamant that the suspect did not hit the victim with the vehicle but “pushed” him.

The officers gave the subject commands to turn the vehicle off and remove the keys from the ignition. The subject followed the officers’ commands, but did not put the vehicle in park, and the vehicle rolled back. The subject was eventually able to step on the brake and place the vehicle in park. 

When asked for his driver’s license, the subject provided officers with a DMV Administrative Per Se (DS 367) form that was completed on Aug. 19, 2022. The DS-367 advises the driver that the DMV intends to suspend or revoke their driving privilege in the State of California and acts as a temporary driver license until this happens. 

The officers observed that the suspect’s movements were slow, his speech was slurred and there was a strong odor of burnt marijuana emanating from the vehicle.

The victim stopped his vehicle on the 400 block of 18th Avenue and immediately pointed to the suspect, who was walking through the parking lot mid-block, and identified him as the subject who attacked him.

The suspect gestured to a sign posted on the door of the vacant building and said that he called the number on the poster and was told he could paint on the building. 

He said, “The last time, a couple of months ago there was a gentleman that did a big bunch of mountains running across it.” The suspect told the officers that, as local law enforcement, they must be aware of this. None of the officers had ever seen a mural of mountains on the front of the building. The suspect then told the officers, “people just go over it with graffiti stuff and they change it every couple of months and so I’m just trying to paint legally.” 

One of the officers had personal knowledge of recent graffiti incidents at that building in which the manager wanted to press charges. The building manager had also authored an e-mail expressing gratitude for graffiti violation enforcement and said that it has been an issue “almost weekly for months,” with a previous graffiti clean-up costing $3,577. 

The four suspects were placed under arrest for vandalism. All four suspects were booked into County Jail for felony vandalism, with one suspect also booked for committing a felony while out on bail for felony vandalism. 

Carjacking With a Gun: 2600 Block of Geary Boulevard, Sept. 12, 4:05 p.m.
