Remembering Aubrey Abrakasa, a Student Slain in 2006

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

This was the headline from more than two years ago, when Aubrey Abrakasa was killed at Grove and Baker:

SAN FRANCISCO
High school boy with full life shot dead in Northern Panhandle neighborhood
He was hit by fire from an automatic weapon near home

An SFPD reward annoucement was issued in 2006 and and reissued earlier this year.

It seems that many people haven’t forgotten about Aubrey.

Was last Night’s Shooting in the Civic Center or the Tenderloin?

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

News of the day: ”Gunfire erupted near UC Hastings College of the Law in the 200 block of McAllister Street at 5:40 p.m.” Interestingly, both accounts of this shooting place the 200 block of McAllister in the Tenderloin area.

Some might consider this block as part of the Civic Center as it’s right across the street from Civic Center Plaza. You can see these 49ers Gold Rush cheeleaders causing a stir on McAllister’s 200 block last year in the photo below.

So is this block really in the Tenderloin?

Mmmm….
