The San Francisco Citizen

Or, in other words, ¿Quién mató a Brian Márquez?  That’s the question people are still asking in the Mission District, especially these days, when homicides in the area are up, up up. So much so, that hundreds of marchers, including Supervisor Tom Ammiano and Police Commissioner David Campos had to hold a vigil in an attempt to draw more attention to the situation.

The link to the website with information about Brian’s murder from 2005 is here.

And here’s who showed up in San Francisco’s Mission District yesterday, per San Francisco FYI net.

Some parts of the Mission certainly can use a little help these days. You can explore these issues with those who march tonight at 7:00 PM on 24th Street.

See you there.
