3rd suspect arrested in East Bay slaying seen as hate crime
Source: SF Gate
The third of three men wanted in connection with whats believed to be a racially motivated slaying of a black musician at an El Sobrante pool hall has been taken into custody, authorities said Saturday.
Daniel Ortega had been on the run for more than a month since the Nov. 12 killing of William Sims, a 28-year-old singer, guitarist and piano player who lived in Richmond, authorities said. The 31-year-old Ortega, of Novato, was arrested around 3:30 p.m. Friday, according to the Contra Costa County Sheriffs Office.
The sheriffs office did not immediately elaborate on the circumstances of Ortegas arrest. He was being held without bail at the Martinez Detention Facility on suspicion of murder and robbery.
Sims was found beaten and shot on the road outside the Capri Club, a pool club on the 4100 block of Appian Way in El Sobrante. Investigators say he was targeted because of his race.

That'll get what's coming to them in prison. GAH, how cna people be so hateful. If you don't like people of a particular persuasion, then do go around them. Kind of simple.

(2,034 posts)yet another beautiful soul. This is why I am terrified for my life for the next 4 years. It's easy for all of you who say I shouldn't be afraid but yes I do have reason to be afraid. Ass holes like these 3 will kill me not only for being black but they will kill me for being gay now. So all of you I was warning to consider people like me during your vote you didn't and now I have to live in fear now because your pride and hatred of Secretary Clinton got in my way. Your responsible for every one of us who has to pay the price now when someone like these jerks decide its time for us to die.
Living in fear sucks
