โ€œValeriaโ€ thought she was going to be raped after she was attacked & dragged into a homeless encampment.
โ €
She escaped & her alleged assailant arrested.
โ €
2+ months later the same man was arrested for raping a woman in a parking garage. (1/3)
Suspect Allen Stewart was wearing an ankle monitor during the rape.

Valeria came to the US f/Mexico 17 years ago & told me โ€œI thought the US was safe.ย  I want that for my daughter.ย  I want my daughter as a woman to be successful &...to dream w/o being assaulted.โ€ (2/3) ImageImage
Valeria told me:

โ€œI want genuine help for myself and for the other people that he assaulted. I want him to stay in jail.โ€

My email to the DAโ€™s office & to Chesa Boudin on Thursday (originally was to air Friday) asking why Stewart was out w/ ankle monitor was not answered. Image
Valeriaโ€™s loved ones have set up a GoFundMe to help her pay for medical bills to treat her trauma and to help pay for her to one day fulfill her promise to see her older daughter in Mexico when she graduates.

Heโ€™s taking a few days off.

SFPD is investigating.
UPDATE: An Uber spokesperson sent me this statementโ€” โ€œThe behavior seen in the video is appalling. The rider no longer has access to Uber.โ€
UPDATE: Subhakar shared these images with me detailing how Uber offered him $20 to clean his car after one of the riders, according to SFPD sprayed what is believed to be pepper spray in his car.

Uber then offered him $40. In the end he was given $120 for his ordeal.

โ €
When we talked tonightโ€”she said she
(1/3)
wasnโ€™t angry at the suspects. Despite 2 flashing guns she actually tried to diffuse the situation by telling them there were cameras and people all around.
โ €
She just wants this message to get out: speak out if you see something like this happening. Donโ€™t just watch. (2/3)
Finally one man stopped after the ordeal ended and helped her.

Ari says she worked 3 jobs to pay for her car right out of high school and would like it back. Itโ€™s a white 2015 Toyota Carolla S with plates 7LYN600. She has filed a police report (3/3)

โ€œWe were excited to start our new life here.โ€

Hannah Egeโ€™s story broke my heart. Her husband Sheria Musyoka was killed in a car crash along Lake Merced.

She aaid they moved f/CT less than 2 weeks ago. SF was their California dream...turned nightmare.

abc7ne.ws/3tvbVcb
Police say Jerry Lyons (pictured here) was driving a stolen car, on drugs when he hit and killed Sheria, who was out for a jog.

Hannah went searching for Sheria when he didnโ€™t come home.

When she got to the lake she said โ€œI just hyperventilated.โ€
Sheriaโ€™s mentor says he was brilliant. A Dartmouth grad, top 3% in his class. Speaks 5 languages and wanted to teach their 3-year old son Theo Swahli.

He had bid dreams of one day buying a house in Kenya to be with his family there part of the year.

โš ๏ธ WARNING: this video is hard to watch. Another shocking attack in Oaklandโ€™s Chinatown. 8th and Harrison Streets. Outside the Asian Resource Center.

20+ robbery/assault incidents in the neighborhood according to the Chinatown Chamber president.

Iโ€™m getting a lot of questions on what the community can do to help.

Many children and friends of seniors tell me they are terrified to go out in public now.

Iโ€™m talking to a young man who is starting a grocery escorting program in the city. Will share more shortly.
This is Jacob Azevedo. He is organizing volunteers to help him accompany seniors & anybody in Chinatown who feels unsafeโ€”while running errands.

Heโ€™s working with the Chinatown Chamber to connect with businesses.

To volunteer you can email him at CompassionInOakland@gmail.com
