Police destroyed a small bar in the community in addition to shooting into the painting done in memory of Dave 'Machine Man' Sterling, former area leader and head of the Rat Bat gang.
"Di dead man can't rest in peace!" residents remarked continually
"Di boss dead from last year and all now de police still a tek set, look ya, two shot dem buss inna him face," one resident said pointing to what appeared to be patched-out holes in the painting. "We patch dem out 'cause wi neva tink de media did a come 'cause we a call dem from Monday morning when it happened and we neva see nobody."
A female resident said the incident happened sometime before 6 a.m. on Monday. "Mi come in 'bout 5:20 a.m. and go in mi house and mi hear like some shot buss a likkle while after that," she said. "When mi look out mi see de police dem outta de road. Mi try fi go look a wha a gwaan but de police dem run mi back in. Mi go back out there after the crowd show up though and dat's when mi see dat a de painting dem shoot up and mash down de likkle bar." She said the police also picked up several persons during the operation yesterday, but most had been released. Another resident alleged that a policeman confiscated a big yellow radio along with some Red Bull beverages during the incident yesterday. Efforts to get a comment from the police Mobile Reserve, who were said to have carried out the operation, were unsuccessful up to press time yesterday. One source from the St Andrew South police division, however, said that while no official report of any sorts were made to them, they have heard rumours of the incident. The source also disclosed that a police operation was, in fact, carried out in the Crescent Road area by a police department. Machine Man was shot dead last October after he allegedly pointed a firearm at lawmen.

William (Billy) Bowden pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007

William (Billy) Bowden, 33, pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg courtroom today to carrying a firearm in a careless manner in January 2007 and skipping out on his preliminary hearing about a year later. Other drug and weapons charges related to the 2007 incident were stayed as part of a plea bargain securing the two convictions. Bowden remains in custody though, charged with manslaughter in relation to the November 2007 killing of Jeff Engen, who was fatally stabbed at the Empire Cabaret, prompting the club to close. That charge remains before the courts. Bowden has been in custody since he was arrested Feb. 14 in Whistler, B.C., and returned to Manitoba. The Crown and defence jointly recommended that time be noted in his sentence for carrying the firearm.

Police discovered a Glock 9mm handgun loaded with 18 bullets in a pile of garbage close to where the...

Closing arguments began today in the murder trial of a reputed Oak Park gang member charged in the shooting death of one of his homeboys while they were out on a retaliation attack in rival territory.Deputy District Attorney Anthony Ortiz said as many as 30 shots were fired in the June 27, 2005, broad-daylight shooting on Della Circle in the Florin area. One of the shots fired by defendant Denishio Demmitrius Collins, 26, killed David Perkins, 22, one of the eight gang members from the Oak Park Bloods who filled three cars in the assault on a rival Crip set, according to Ortiz."This wasn't an in-the-dark sneak attack," Ortiz said.

After the shooting, the Oak Park gang members dumped the dying Perkins out of one of their vehicles and left him to die, Ortiz said."He was left on a sidewalk to die by his homeboys," the prosecutor said.
