PTC — August 8, at 1:15 pm in Department 3 Courtroundup By Elliot Spagat TheAssociatedPress SAN DIEGO A series of at- tacks on San Diego's home- less population this week have left two transients dead and a community on edge as police search for one man suspected of the bloodshed. Advocates are warning those who live on the streets about the assailant who separately attacked four men, many as they slept in the early morning hours. The violence occurred in different parts of the city over four days, and two of the victims were set on fire. "There's no doubt our city has been shaken by these gruesome attacks," Mayor Kevin Faulconer said at a news conference. "The last few days have been partic- ularly harrowing and emo- tional for those who strug- gle with homelessness. These crimes are being committed against some of our city's most vulnerable people." The Alpha Project, which provides temporary housing in San Diego, has sent eight representatives to canyons, freeway ramps and other encampments to encour- age transients to sleep in groups and in lighted ar- eas, said Bob McElroy, the group's president. Capt. David Nisleit de- clined to speak in detail about why police believe the attacks are connected but mentioned the way they were carried out and wit- ness interviews. Police had no information linking the victims. In the latest violence, a 23-year-old man was seri- ously injured Wednesday and not expected to survive injuries to his upper body. A news release said he was set on fire. The man's iden- tity has not been released. Police began investigat- ing the attacks when the badly burned remains of Angelo De Nardo, 53, were found Sunday between In- terstate 5 and some train tracks. He suffered extensive trauma to his upper torso and died before his body was set on fire. Police have not explained the nature of the injuries or what kind of weapon was used. The next day, officers re- sponding to a 911 call found Manuel Mason, 61, who suf- fered life-threatening inju- ries to his upper torso and remained in critical con- dition Wednesday. A few hours later, police discov- ered the body of Shawn Longley, 41, who had bled from the upper torso.

LENNY IGNELZI — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS By Amanda Lee Myers The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Seven La- tino gang members in Los Angeles have been charged with firebombing the homes of black families in 2014 to drive them out of a heavily Hispanic neigh- borhood, according to a federal court indictment made public Thursday. The men charged are members and associates of the Big Hazard street gang and hurled Molotov cock- tails at apartments in a public housing complex in May 2014, prosecutors said. The men were trying to drive black people out of the complex, located in the Boyle Heights area near downtown, prosecu- tors said. "This is a hate crime. Such violence and intim- idation have no place in our society," Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Depart- ment's Civil Rights Divi- sion, said in a statement Thursday. The attack caused mi- nor to moderate property damage to the homes of four families at the Ra- mona Gardens housing complex, an overwhelm- ingly Latino area with a history of racial tensions and violence. No one was hurt, but prosecutors said one of the firebombs landed where a woman and her baby had just been sleeping. The men charged are Carlos Hernandez, 31; Jose Saucedo, 22; Francisco Farias, 25; Joseue Garibay, 23; Edwin Felix, 23; Jona- than Portillo, 21; and Joel Matthew Monarrez, 21. Prosecutors say Her- nandez organized the fire- bombing and used a racial slur when referring to the black families living there. It was unclear whether Hernandez and the other menhaveattorneys.Theyare expected to appear in court at various upcoming dates. The charges against them include conspiracy to violate civil rights, at- tempted arson of federal property, and using fire and explosives to com- mit a federal felony. At 10 counts, it's one of the larg- est civil rights indictments in local history, according to the FBI. They were also charged stemming from their in- volvement with Big Haz- ard, which included using violence and intimidation to control their territory, according to the indict- ment. LOS ANGELES 7 men charged with firebombing black families The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO California would get an additional $86 millionfromVolkswagenina dealovercivilpenaltiesstem- ming from the company's emissions cheating scandal. State Attorney Gen- eral Kamala Harris and Volkswagen asked a judge Thursday to approve the set- tlement. The money would be on top of more than a billion dollars that Volk- swagen previously agreed to pay for investments in zero-emissions technology and environmental mitiga- tion in California. That figure was part of a $14.7 billion settlement an- nounced last week that in- cludes compensation for the majority of affected Volk- swagen vehicle owners. Volkswagen is still facing billions more in fines and penalties as well as possi- ble criminal charges. The automaker has ac- knowledged that vehicles were programmed to turn on emissions controls during governmentlabtestsandturn them off while on the road.
