On the evening of August 6, 2021, a local store owner tried to quell an argument in front of his Mission Street store. A few minutes later, one of the individuals came into the store, pointed a gun at the owner, and threatened to shoot him. The suspect was Brice.
On the Friday evening of Labor Day weekend, a woman was driving her car on Diamond Street when a person driving in the opposite direction fired a shot at her. The bullet struck her car, and a bullet also pierced the window of an 89-year-old woman’s home. (Despite information of this shooting coming from an SFPD Press Release, on page 18 of SFPD’s Compstat it was reported that no shootings occurred in this district for the month of September.) Again, Brice was the suspect in this potentially deadly shooting.
A week later, in the Marina Safeway parking lot, Brice became confrontational with shopper. Brice simulated that he had a firearm and threatened to shoot the shopper. The victim ran away and called SFPD. While SFPD was interviewing the shopper/victim, Brice returned to the parking lot and was arrested by SFPD.
The next day, SFPD served a search warrant on Brice’s Chestnut Street address. SFPD seized a firearm, a drum magazine and a regular magazine, and ammunition.
The frightening part of Brice’s crimes is that he absolutely had no relationship with any of his victims, and they were targeted at completely random San Francisco locations.
Despite the danger Brice poses to our city’s residents, on October 19th, District Attorney Boudin allowed Brice to be released back into the public with an ankle monitor and the requirement that he attend the Wrap Around Project at UCSF.
While some dangerous felons have been released into the public after completing a mental health program, Boudin deemed it important to immediately release Brice into the public on the mere promise he would attend mental health therapy. And Boudin, who is protected by a full time bodyguard, kept another dangerous person on our city streets.
Per SFPD’s Compstat, shootings are up 50% over last year.
Either way you look at it, statistically or anecdotally, has Boudin’s strategies made you feel safer in San Francisco?
Where did you hear he was released w/ an ankle monitor?
