Handyman David Bonola has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Queens mother Orsolya Gaal.

Gaal’s body was discovered stuffed in a hockey bag in Forest Park in the borough of Queens, New York City

The married mother of two, 51, had been stabbed nearly 60 times in her home and her body was dragged half a mile away and dumped near to a popular walking path on Metropolitan Avenue in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Police followed a trail of blood from the bag that led them about half a mile to an upscale gated community in Forest Hills.

On Wednesday, Bonola appeared in court

Friends and coworkers are raising money on behalf of the family of a west county stabbing victim to pay for the transportation of his body to Mexico.

Francisco Marcelo Olivera Arellanes was killed on March 23 at a home in the Guerneville area on Old Cazadero Road. His friends and relatives have launched a fundraiser on gofundme.com to benefit his family.

Loved ones want funeral services and burial to take place in Mexico where his mother and two children live.

The 31-year-old was a handyman and gardener for River to Coast Children’s Services, a Guerneville-based organization serving west Sonoma County child care providers, families and communities.

He’d worked there for years and was popular among staff, said Diana Avila, child development program director.

“He was a hard worker,” she said. “He had this contagious laugh, which was super bubbly.”

Around 9 pm March 23, Sonoma County dispatchers received reports that a vehicle had been driven into a home and that someone inside the home was dead.

Sonoma County sheriff’s deputies performed CPR on Olivera Arellanes, who was the person inside the home. He’d been stabbed at least once, officials said, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Investigators say Guerneville resident Drake Myhre, 24, attacked him, then fled and later stabbed another person 7 miles away on River Drive near Forestville. That person survived.

Authorities found Myhre’s body on rocky ground below the Highway 116 bridge over the Russian River in Guerneville. His death is considered an “apparent suicide,” according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Friends of Myhre’s, contacted by The Press Democrat, declined to comment.

Investigators say Myhre and the second victim knew each other but they haven’t identified a connection to Olivera Arellanes.

According to his colleagues, Olivera Arellanes worked around the Guerneville area with his brother, Rey. They were known as the “dynamic duo,” Avila said.

In the gofundme.com profile, organizers wrote that, “He wanted to be like his big brother and they share a unique relationship like no other. They had big plans for their future, for their families and for the community surrounding them.”

Olivera Arellanes often played soccer at the Guerneville Elementary school and was known for his willingness to help others under any and all circumstances.

OAKLAND (KPIX) — Police in Oakland are investigating a fatal early morning stabbing Sunday in a Lake Merritt neighborhood that has seen multiple homicides in recent months.

Police said a man was stabbed multiple times just after 3 am near 1200 Lakeshore Avenue.

That makes four homicides on the same lakeside street in less than six months.

“I heard a big commotion and I came outside on the balcony and I saw, like, about five people beating up this guy,” said a woman who declined to provide her name for fear of retaliation.

She said the attackers were two women and three men.

“They just were really beating him up, beating him up and, all of a sudden, the women said ‘Oh, let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!’ So they all jumped into a car. The (victim) got up, then he stumbled, then he fell,” she said.

She said the victim had blood all over his chest and that there were other people standing nearby, including a security guard for her condo building. Those witnesses tried to help the victim after the attackers left.

Oakland police said it’s the fourth homicide on this long dead-end street since Nov. 2021. It is unclear what motivated the stabbing. Police said the previous homicides, involving guns, were over robberies.

“Unfortunately, not surprised because there’s been so much of it,” said Michael Ziolkowski, who lives on the block.

“It’s really discouraging sometimes. I still love the neighborhood but I don’t think I would be comfortable sitting on a bench here after dark, honestly,” said neighbor Krista Sumida.

Area residents said they are fearful to leave their home at night. In addition to the four homicides, the East Bay Times reported there have been seven non-fatal shootings in the cul-de-sac since May 2021.

“We need a greater police presence on this cul-de-sac,” Sumida said.

“If (the police) drive through with their lights flashing, that kind of makes a lot of the cars move and get out,” Ziolkowski said.

One neighbor was seen with a large moving truck on the block moving out. He said he was tired of the violence and shootings.

“We’ve had three neighbors just moved out of this building in the last eight months,” Sumida said.

The dead end stretch of Lakeshore Avenue is a popular hang-out spot for young people to park their cars and party at night. Neighbors said that makes those people easy targets for robbers and some of those parties have led to fights and shootings.

“My message to our mayor is to please step up, pull your leaders together and come up with a viable way where we can be safe,” said neighbor Colette McPherson.

Police hadn’t released the victim’s identity by Sunday evening, pending notification of next of kin. The man suffered multiple stab wounds and died after being transported to a hospital. He was in his 30s.

Police were still looking for the suspects.

Sunday evening, Oakland city council president Nikki Fortunato Bas called on the city to do more

“Enough is enough,” Fortunato Bas tweeted. “Last night, another life was lost to violence in the Lakeshore cul-de-sac. I’m calling for immediate action. Parking restrictions must be enforced, including ticketing + towing to help prevent violence from occurring.”

The District 2 councilmember wrote that she wants the city to expedite the process for residents of the area to use the current no-parking zone “and help prevent harmful activities.”

She also said Oakland police should increase patrols in the area and better coordinate with private security. She also called for gun reform and “accountable, neighborhood-based policing.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the OPD Homicide Section at (510) 238-3821 or the TIP LINE at 238-7950.

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) – While Anh ‘Peng’ Taylor was recovering Thursday from the wounds she suffered in a brutal attack on a street in San Francisco, her family began detailing their amazing journey from war-torn Southeast Asia to the Bay Area to share.

The 94-year-old was born in Haiphong in 1926 of Chinese and Vietnamese descent. She immigrated to Laos later in life when Vietnam was involved in a war. She worked as a cook in a restaurant she owned, where she met her future husband. They married in Bangkok and lived there for a few years before moving to Hawaii and then to San Francisco in the early 1970s.

Her husband, a US war veteran, died almost two years ago. She has lived in the same apartment in San Francisco’s criminal Tenderloin neighborhood for 45 years, taking her daily walks and waving to her neighbors.

On Wednesday at 10.15 a.m., she was allegedly attacked in Block 800 on Poststrasse by 35-year-old Daniel Cauich, who was taken into custody two hours later.

She was stabbed in the wrist, suffered additional cuts and was hit in the head. According to the police, she did nothing to provoke the attack. Taylor just took her daily walk.

“She only takes short walks with her stick, she doesn’t bother anyone,” says friend and neighbor Miranda Benvenuti. “She gives us cookies.”

“It’s just sad that someone (the suspect) is such a monster and so cruel,” added Benvenuti.

Her niece spoke to Betty Yu from KPIX 5 and told her that from her hospital bed, her aunt asked her, “Why should this happen to me?”

It wasn’t immediately known whether Taylor was targeted for her race or a casual victim in a crime-ridden neighborhood. But since the COVID-19 pandemic began, violence against Asian Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area has increased astonishingly.

There have been dozens of attacks, some fatal, in Oakland, San Francisco and South Bay.

According to a report by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino, released June 1, 12 hate crimes were committed against Asian Americans in San Francisco in the first quarter of 2021 – a 140 percent increase from the first Quarter of 2020.

SAN FRANCISCO – Am 4. Mai gegen 16:51 Uhr antworteten Polizeibeamte aus San Francisco von der Tenderloin Station auf das Gebiet der Straßen 4th und Stockton, um einen Bericht über einen Doppelstich zu erhalten.

Die Beamten kamen vor Ort an und lokalisierten zwei asiatische Opfer im Alter von 84 und 63 Jahren, die an mehreren Stichwunden litten. Die Beamten leisteten den Opfern Hilfe und riefen Sanitäter zur Szene. Beide Opfer wurden in ein örtliches Krankenhaus gebracht.

Foto von Chui Fong von einer Go Fund Me-Seite, die von ihren Enkelkindern eingerichtet wurde.

Das 63-jährige Opfer erlitt nicht lebensbedrohliche Verletzungen. Das 84-jährige Opfer wurde zunächst wegen lebensbedrohlicher Verletzungen behandelt. Ihr medizinischer Status wurde inzwischen auf nicht lebensbedrohlich angehoben. Beide Opfer bleiben im Krankenhaus.

Im Verlauf der Untersuchung erhielten die Beamten ein Bild des Verdächtigen. Tenderloin-Beamte erkannten den Verdächtigen aus früheren Polizeikontakten. Er wurde als 54-jähriger Patrick Thompson aus San Francisco identifiziert.

Gegen 19 Uhr fanden die Beamten Thompson im 600er Block der Eddy Street, wo er ohne Zwischenfälle in Gewahrsam genommen wurde. Thompson wurde später im San Francisco County Gefängnis wegen zwei Anklagen wegen versuchten Mordes und Misshandlung älterer Menschen gebucht.

Die Untersuchung wird vom Tenderloin Station Investigations Team mit Unterstützung der SFPD Night Investigations Unit geleitet. Die Ermittler arbeiten daran, festzustellen, ob der Vorfall durch rassistische Vorurteile motiviert war. Ein Hassverbrechen ist definiert als eine Straftat gegen eine Person oder ein Eigentum, die ganz oder teilweise durch die Vorurteile eines Täters gegenüber Rasse, Religion, Behinderung, sexueller Orientierung, ethnischer Zugehörigkeit, Geschlecht oder Geschlechtsidentität motiviert ist.

Obwohl eine Verhaftung vorgenommen wurde, bleibt dies eine offene, frühe und aktive Untersuchung. Jeder mit Informationen wird gebeten, die SFPD Tip Line unter (415) 575-4444 anzurufen oder einen Tipp an TIP411 zu senden und die Textnachricht mit SFPD zu beginnen.

Die Bezirksstaatsanwältin von San Francisco, Chesa Boudin, kündigte die folgenden Anklagen gegen Thompson an: zwei Fälle von vorsätzlichem Mordversuch (Strafgesetzbuch, Abschnitt 664/187); zwei Angriffe mit einer tödlichen Waffe (Strafgesetzbuch, Abschnitt 245 (a) (1)); und zwei Fälle von Missbrauch älterer Menschen (Strafgesetzbuch, Abschnitt 368 (b) (1)) mit Verbesserungen für schwere Körperverletzungen, schwere Körperverletzungen bei Ältesten und den persönlichen Gebrauch einer tödlichen Waffe. Diese Anklagen sind mit einer möglichen lebenslangen Haftstrafe verbunden.

Eine Gerichtsverhandlung war für Freitag um 13:30 Uhr geplant, wobei Boudin die Anklage bei der Gerichtsverhandlung persönlich vertrat.

Am Donnerstag besuchte Boudin beide Opfer und ihre Familien im Krankenhaus. Eines der Opfer forderte, dass weder ihr Name noch ihr Gesicht veröffentlicht werden.

“Die Stärke und der Mut dieser Frauen sind inspirierend”, sagte Boudin. „Ihr Schmerz war spürbar und wird uns ständig daran erinnern, wie wichtig unsere Arbeit ist, um San Francisco für alle sicherer zu machen. Ich bin dem medizinischen Team des San Francisco General Hospital dankbar, das dazu beigetragen hat, dass die Opfer heute noch bei uns sind. “

Boudin sagte, dass die von der Polizei vorgelegten Beweise einen brutalen Angriff darstellen. „Wir behaupten, dass Mr. Thompson sich den älteren Opfern näherte und sie mit einem Messer erstach. Das Messer durchbohrte die Lunge eines Opfers und erforderte eine umfangreiche Operation. Ein Messer musste von einem anderen Opfer im Krankenhaus entfernt werden. Die Polizei, umstehende Personen, reagierende Ärzte, Chirurgen und anwesende Mitarbeiter des San Francisco General Hospital sind für ihre lebensrettenden Reaktionen zu loben. Der Fall ist auch eine Erinnerung an die Notwendigkeit, den Sprachzugang während des gesamten Ermittlungs- und Rechtsprozesses zu verbessern.

„Diese Tatsachen stützen die Anklage wegen versuchten Mordes, Missbrauchs älterer Menschen und des Angriffs mit einer tödlichen Waffe. Wir untersuchen immer noch, ob in diesem Fall andere Anklagen oder Vorwürfe erhoben werden können, und arbeiten mit der Polizeibehörde zusammen, um festzustellen, ob es Beweise gibt, die Vorwürfe wegen Hassverbrechen stützen. Wenn jemand diesbezüglich Informationen hat, wenden Sie sich bitte an die Polizei oder die Staatsanwaltschaft.

„Es gab einige Fragen zum Hintergrund von Mr. Thompson. Die letzte Verhaftung von Herrn Thompson erfolgte im April 2020, als ein Richter einen Haftbefehl wegen fehlenden Gerichts erließ und als er wegen dieses Haftbefehls verhaftet wurde, war er im Besitz einer Drogenpfeife.

„Zuvor hat die Polizei Herrn Thompson im Jahr 2017 in getrennten Fällen festgenommen. Aufgrund einiger Verwirrung möchten wir klarstellen, was in den zuvor gegen Herrn Thompson eingereichten Fällen geschehen ist. Während dieses Verfahrens befand ihn ein Richter für unfähig, vor Gericht zu stehen, und er wurde in das Napa State Hospital gebracht. Nach seiner Rückkehr im Jahr 2018 beantragte sein Verteidiger, ihn zu Mental Health Diversion zu schicken, einem Programm, das nach kalifornischem Recht verfügbar ist.

„Dieses Programm gibt den Richtern das Ermessen, einen Fall zugunsten einer intensiven, gerichtlich überwachten Behandlung und von Dienstleistungen umzuleiten, die auf bestimmten, aufgezählten Kriterien hinsichtlich des psychischen Gesundheitszustands eines Angeklagten und seines Verhältnisses zu den Anklagen beruhen. Herr Thompson wurde im Oktober 2018 aus der Haft entlassen, um an der Mental Health Diversion teilzunehmen. Nachdem er fast zwei Jahre lang das Programm eingehalten hatte, trat der Verteidiger von Herrn Thompson aus dem Programm aus, das ein Richter bewilligte.

„Während dieser Zeit wurde Herr Thompson keiner neuen Straftat angeklagt und nur wegen Haftbefehls wegen fehlender Gerichtstermine und einmal wegen Besitzes einer Drogenpfeife verhaftet.

„Was passiert ist, ist eine verheerende Tragödie, und wir werden die volle Kraft der Ressourcen unseres Büros einsetzen, um diesen Fall zu verfolgen. Wir müssen auch hart arbeiten, um das nächste Verbrechen zu verhindern, und das beinhaltet Prävention und Behandlung. Herr Thompson brauchte intensive Aufsicht und Dienstleistungen – die er während der Ablenkung der psychischen Gesundheit erhielt und die neues kriminelles Verhalten verhinderten. Wir brauchen weitaus intensivere Instrumente, mit denen Menschen, die psychisch schlecht behandelt und unterstützt werden, auch dann nicht wieder beleidigt werden, wenn kein Strafverfahren anhängig ist.

„Wir haben immer gewusst, dass wir die psychiatrischen Dienste in dieser Stadt stärken müssen, damit wir Verbrechen überhaupt nicht verhindern können. Wir müssen auch stärker auf die Bewältigung der Krise der psychischen Gesundheit in unseren Straßen reagieren, um die Sicherheit unserer Gemeinde zu gewährleisten. Seit über 40 Jahren haben wir es versäumt, Ressourcen in Behandlung, unterstützende Unterbringung und andere notwendige Dienstleistungen für psychisch Kranke und ihre Familien zu investieren. Aufgrund dieses Erbes sind wir alle weniger sicher.

„Ich fordere alle Gesetzgeber und diejenigen, die die Stadt- und Staatshaushalte kontrollieren, auf, gemeinsam mit mir dieses Problem mit der geforderten Dringlichkeit anzugehen. Ein Beispiel dafür, wie Gesetzgeber zusammenkommen, um sich für die Reaktion der öffentlichen Gesundheit auf diese Krise einzusetzen, ist Mental Health SF. Das derzeit in Pilotform befindliche Programm wurde 2019 vom Aufsichtsgremium von San Francisco per Verordnung verabschiedet und stützt sich auf ein interdisziplinäres Team von Fachleuten für psychische Gesundheit, das sich rund um die Uhr für Menschen einsetzt, die auf der Straße mit psychischen Erkrankungen leben.

„Das Programm zielt darauf ab, allen erwachsenen Bewohnern von San Francisco mit psychischen Erkrankungen und / oder Drogenmissbrauch, die obdachlos, nicht versichert oder in Medi-Cal oder Healthy San Francisco eingeschrieben sind, Zugang zu psychiatrischen Diensten, Substanzbehandlungen und Psychopharmaka zu verschaffen.

„Zusätzlich zur vollständigen Implementierung von Mental Health SF benötigen wir neue Tools, um zu verhindern, dass Menschen auf unseren Straßen, die an psychischen Erkrankungen leiden, unbehandelt bleiben, wenn sie keine gerichtliche Aufsicht haben.

„San Francisco muss ein sicherer Ort für alle sein – wo niemand aus Angst vor einem Angriff die Straße entlang geht. Die öffentliche Sicherheit erfordert dringend neue Ansätze zur Behandlung von Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen, um alle zu schützen. “

Notizen des Reporters

Dion Lim von ABC 7, der ausführlich über antiasiatische Hassverbrechen in der Bay Area berichtet hat, hat Updates veröffentlicht:

4. Mai: „Dieser asiatische Mann in den Fünfzigern wurde in der Nähe von Original Joe’s in North Beach mehrmals in den Kopf geschlagen. Jemand, den ich kenne, ging vorbei, als es gegen 8:30 Uhr passierte. Die ersten beiden Senioren haben den Markt erstochen und (jetzt) ​​das? Was zum Teufel ist hier los?”

5. Mai: „Der Enkel eines der Opfer, das in den Arm und in ihre Brust gestochen wurde, gab mir die Erlaubnis, dies zu teilen (Foto). Dies ist das einzige Foto, das sie derzeit freigeben, da sie während dieser Zeit um Privatsphäre bitten. Ich habe erfahren, dass die andere Frau in den Rücken gestochen wurde und zwei gebrochene Knochen hat.

„Hier ist das einzige echte GoFundMe für eine der älteren Frauen, die gestern auf dem Markt erstochen wurden. (http://bit.ly/3enyEBv) Es wurde von der Familie Eng eingerichtet. Enkel Andrew sagte mir, dass er nicht gerne um ein Handout bittet, aber dass seine Oma wirklich die Unterstützung braucht. Ich habe ihm gesagt, dass die Gemeinde helfen will. “

6. Mai: „Trigger Warning – Nach vielen Diskussionen und Debatten möchte ich Ihnen ein Video zeigen, das ich aus Quellen der beiden asiatischen älteren Frauen erhalten habe, die diese Woche entlang der Market Street erstochen wurden. Hier ist warum:

„Das, was gezeigt wird, muss immer einen Zweck haben. Ich glaube nicht daran, Dinge für den Schockwert oder für Klicks zu zeigen. Aber stattdessen Kontext zu zeigen. In diesem Fall hielten es mein Team und ich für wichtig zu sehen, was passiert ist, damit Sie verstehen, wie schwerwiegend dieses Verbrechen ist – wenn Sie die früheren Verbrechen des Verdächtigen erfahren.

„Sie können sehen, wie ruhig sich der Verdächtige den Frauen nähert. Der Verdächtige scheint die Frauen aus mehreren anderen auszuwählen.

„Es zeigt, wie ein Zuschauer eilte, um zu helfen. Weitere kamen kurz darauf. Ich habe gestern mit einer Person gesprochen, die Mrs. Fong wiegte, während die Einsatzkräfte eintrafen.

„Der mutmaßliche Täter hat eine kriminelle Vorgeschichte, einschließlich des Angriffs mit einer tödlichen Waffe im Jahr 2017. Er wurde im vergangenen Herbst wegen Ablenkung der psychischen Gesundheit entlassen. Er sollte wegen seiner früheren Anklage 25 Jahre lang hinter Gittern sitzen.

„Ich habe das nur dreimal gesehen, weil es mich verärgert und überwältigt. Die Familie weiß, warum wir die Entscheidung getroffen haben, dies zu teilen. Ich werde diesen Schock und diese Wut in die Fortsetzung des Kampfes lenken. “

Lim hat dies auch am Mittwoch gepostet: „Ein Baseballschläger. So sieht es für manche in San Francisco aus, Besorgungen zu erledigen und einzukaufen. Eine asiatische Frau hat mir dieses Foto geschickt. Händedesinfektionsmittel, Maske, nicht auffällige Handtasche… und eine Fledermaus. Die Bürger sollten dies nicht tun müssen, um sich in dieser Stadt sicher zu fühlen. “

Die Go Fund Me-Seite für Chui Fong, auf der mehr als 100.000 US-Dollar gesammelt wurden, enthielt die folgende Nachricht von Victoria Eng: „Mein Bruder Andrew und ich richten diese Spendenaktion im Auftrag unserer 85-jährigen Oma ein. Am Dienstag, dem 4. Mai 2021, wurde sie auf dem Weg nach Hause in der Market Street und am 4. in San Francisco erstochen. Während sie an der Bushaltestelle wartete, wurde sie mit einem langen Messer in den rechten Arm gestochen und trat in ihre Brust ein. Sie wurde zu SF General versetzt, wo sie erfolgreich operiert wurde.

„Diese asiatischen Hassverbrechen müssen aufhören. Unser Herz geht an alle, die durch diese Welle rassistischer Verbrechen gegen die asiatische Gemeinschaft verletzt, getötet oder betroffen wurden. San Francisco ist mein Zuhause und das Zuhause meiner Großmutter. Wir müssen uns dort sicher fühlen, wo wir leben, und nicht in ständiger Angst. Bitte behalten Sie sie und unsere Familie in Ihren Gedanken und Gebeten. Jede Spende wäre willkommen! Vielen Dank.”

SAN FRANCISCO (BCN / CBS SF) – A man accused of stabbing two elderly Asian women in downtown San Francisco on Tuesday was charged with two attempted murder, elderly abuse and assault with a lethal weapon, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin said Friday.

Officials arrested 54-year-old Patrick Thompson Tuesday after allegedly stabbing two women, aged 63 and 85, near the corner of Market Street and Fourth Street, police said.

During the attack, the 85-year-old victim’s lungs were punctured, requiring extensive surgery. The knife that was used to attack the second victim had to be removed by doctors in the hospital, prosecutors said.

Thompson was due to be charged Friday afternoon but refused to get out of jail to trial, Thompson’s attorney’s assistant attorney Eric Fleischaker said in court. The indictment continued until Monday.

In addition to charges of attempted murder, assault and abuse of the elderly, Thompson is also facing improvements for grievous bodily harm, grievous bodily harm to elders, and personal use of a lethal weapon. If convicted, he could potentially be sentenced to life imprisonment, prosecutors said.

Boudin, who is following the case himself, said Thursday that he visited both victims and their families in the hospital.

“The strength and courage of these women are inspiring,” said Boudin in a statement released Thursday. “Her pain was palpable and will constantly remind us of the importance of our work to make San Francisco safer for everyone. I am grateful to the medical team at San Francisco General Hospital for helping keep the victims with us today. “

Although Thompson has been charged, the investigation is still ongoing and Boudin’s office is looking to see if there is evidence to support the hate crime charge in the case.

KPIX 5 learned Wednesday from a police source that Thompson has a long and troubled criminal history, with more than two dozen arrests over the past 20 years. He was taken to a mental institution at least once and arrested for battery in 2019.

KPIX 5 also learned that Thompson was arrested in 2017 for stabbing a person to death with scissors in that homeless shelter on 5th Street and Bryant Street. Police say it was another unprovoked attack.

The DA office said Thompson’s last arrest was in April 2020 when a judge issued an arrest warrant for a lack of trial. When he was arrested on this warrant, he owned a drug pipe.

The San Francisco Police Officers Association, which Boudin has criticized in the past, released a press release on Friday alleging that Thompson’s arrest in 2017 was related to an unprovoked knife stab, similar to the most recent case.

“This is Chesa Boudins San Francisco, where repeat offenders get second, third and fourth chances while victims are bleeding in our streets,” the SFPOA said. “Boudin’s recent mistake is shameful, and his capture and release policies for violent criminals result in more and more victims. We have enough. “

The President of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, Tony Montoya, also criticized Boudin, calling his participation in the case a stunt.

“To date, this is Chesa’s most disrespectful political stunt. The victims in this case and their families deserve the most experienced violent crime prosecutor in court today and not a criminal defense attorney with zero experience prosecuting crimes, ”said Montoya on the release.

Boudin’s office recognized the need for new methods to treat people with mental health and substance problems and urged lawmakers to push for more resources.

“What happened is a devastating tragedy and we will use the full strength of our office resources to pursue this case. We also have to work hard to prevent the next crime, and that includes prevention and treatment. Mr. Thompson needed intense supervision and services – which he received during the mental health diversion that prevented new criminal behavior. We need far more intensive instruments with which people who are badly treated and supported psychologically are not insulted again even when no criminal proceedings are pending. We always knew that we had to strengthen the mental health services in this city so that we could not commit crimes at all, ”said Boudin’s office.

“We are requesting a public reserve judgment from Mr. Thompson as we continue to gather more information. This is not a hate crime. Even in our early assessment of this incident, nothing suggests that it was racially motivated, ”Fleischaker said of his client.

“Mr. Thompson has suffered from mental health problems all of his adult life and is someone who thrives with proper care – just as he did for nearly two years when he was part of the rigorous, judicial mental health diversion program where he could live independently without incident and participate in his own healing. Unfortunately, many life-saving social services were not available during the COVID crisis and the lack of consistent care led to this situation which is tragic for all concerned.
