It was a cool dark Sunday night when an apparent brutal assault went down next door to The Florence in the Niles District. The victim, who lived nearby, was transported to Eden Hospital where he apparently succumbed to his injuries. Fremont PD commented briefly on the incident in their weekly patrol blotter, but has been silence since. A man was murdered in public on Niles Blvd and even the barest details have been kept from the public. Contrast this with the unfortunately motorcycle accident yesterday morning in Warm Springs. Within hours we knew that the road was closed and that something serious happened. Later that day we had more details of how the accident happened and that the motor rider was killed. This was a felony hit and run. In both cases a man died and it both cases a felony was involved and the suspect was outstanding. Yet a man murdered in Niles apparently does not rate the courtesy of the police department to at least acknowledge what happened and to assure the public that a killer is not on the loose. Or is there a killer on the loose?
No major news organization has done a story on this homicide. Here is a link to the original post:

I don’t understand either. I’m more convinced they are keeping it quiet because it was a transient that committed the homicide in Niles. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm, do you find it odd the long explanation of an Assault with a deadly weapon hate crime arrest that occurred approximately 15 hours ago has been posted but NOTHING regarding the homicide in Niles. They sure are trying to keep Niles quiet so they can build the Navigation Center.
ReplyDeleteThis is how the Niles case should have been handled: get the facts out quickly. Just because they haven't made an arrest is no reason to withhold information.
ReplyDeleteWe are on the same page. So much for transparency.
