Joseph B. Ibones shot twice by a Crips member

Joseph B. Ibones, 29, son of Cebu City Police Office – Security and Service Group (SSG) Chief Ambrosio Ibones underwent an operation at a private hospital after taking a bullet in the left side of his body. Homicide Section Chief Mario Monilar said the slug hit a portion of Joseph’s liver. He is still under observation.
Senior Insp. Ibones, in a separate interview, called on barangay officials in Pardo to strictly implement the curfew so that gang members will be discouraged from staying in the streets during late hours.
Joseph was reportedly shot twice by a Crips member who was only identified as a certain Berly or Choy. Berly shot Joseph after the latter called the attention of a group of 15 youths to stop throwing eggs at vehicles that passed by the area.
Joseph is not a member of a gang. An investigation led by SPO2 Rey Cuyos of the Homicide Section showed the shooting occurred past 11 p.m., Sunday, while Berly’s group, who were also believed to be
gang members, were gathered along Aznar Road celebrating someone’s birthday. Monilar said that for fun, they threw eggs at passing vehicles and were reportedly very noisy. Joseph, who also resides in the area, passed by on board a motorcycle.
Joseph, who knew most of those who were gathered in the area, advised them to stop what they were doing, This, allegedly irked Berly.
Berly walked a few meters away, pulled out a gun and shot Joseph twice. One of the slugs hit the left side of Joseph’s body.
He was rushed by his neighbor Leonard Labay, a habal-habal driver who witnessed the shooting, to the Cebu City Medical Center. Joseph was later transferred to Perpetual Succour Hospital. A joint team from the Pardo Police Station and Homicide Section is still conducting a manhunt against Berly. Berly, 19, reportedly resides on Ramona Village, Talisay City. Monilar, however, said that Berly was no longer found in his house when police operatives looked for him in the area. Ibones said implementing a curfew will greatly help in the prevention and solution of crimes involving gang members. “They have not done anything productive. They are a menace to society,” he said in Cebuano. He said the area where the incident occurred has been identified as one of the areas where gang members gather. Ibones said the presence of gangs, whether it’s Crips or Bloods, has become one of the major problems in Barangay Pardo. He hopes barangay officials will now find the need to implement a curfew.
Cebu City Police Office Director Patrocinio Comendador earlier urged barangay officials to also implement a curfew.

Timothy “Fuzzy” Timms, a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle club, stood up Monday for his First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Timms, a resident of the San Diego community of South Park, refused to take off a black leather vest with the motorcycle club's “death's head” insignia when he reported for jury duty. He's a big burly man, 5 feet 8 inches, 250 pounds, with a full beard and auburn-colored, shoulder-length hair. At 7:45 a.m., Timms' stance got him booted from the San Diego Superior Court's Hall of Justice by sheriff's deputies, along with another Hells Angel who also refused to remove his insignia vest. Nine hours later, representatives of both the Superior Court and the sheriff's department apologized to Timms and club member Mick Rush for “misunderstanding” an order issued April 24 by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser. Rush also had been reporting for jury duty. “It all boils down to a misunderstanding of Judge Fraser'

Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow

Rivi was, for a time, the hit-man of choice for Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow. Griselda was the grande dame of the Miami cocaine business, a Colombian mother of three, of impoverished origins, who slaughtered and intimidated her way to the top of a billion-dollar industry. She is a central character in this movie, the most deadly figure in a story in which the bodies are stacked like dominos. Conspicuous by her absence as an interviewee, she is one of the few key survivors of the era whom the film-makers were unable to coax before the lens. “Her release was imminent at that point, as was her deportation. I think she has changed her mind since, because we have been reapproached,” Corben says. contract killer Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, the director of Cocaine Cowboys Billy Corben says: “He told me where there is a body buried in Miami, by the Florida turnpike.
