Oscar Juliuss Grant III,steady stream of mourners passed by the wreath-flanked casket

steady stream of mourners passed by the wreath-flanked casket of Oscar Juliuss Grant III, and by the time his funeral service began Wednesday morning, an overcapacity crowd of about 1,000 people had packed into South Hayward's Palma Ceia Baptist Church.As family members took their seats — more than 100 of Grant's relatives attended — one woman became overcome with grief and allowed herself to be escorted outside.The church's Rev. Ronald Coleman changed the tone with music, singing "I don't know what you came to do, but I came to pray today" to a crowd that increasingly clapped along.Coleman urged the crowd to "show the world how we believers handle stuff like this, and lift up this family."So set the mood for most of the services, which squarely focused on the life of 22-year-old Grant, and not on his violent shooting death on the Fruitvale BART platform, early Jan. 1.Grant had long been a member of the church on Ruus Road, and pastors spoke warmly about the man whom they'd known since he was a young boy."I met Oscar when he was young — 6, 7, 8 years old," Deacon Eugene Carter said during the service. Oscar always knew so much for a young person. It seemed like he knew as much as some adults. ."‚."‚. He would ask adult questions."Grant had shown leadership skills as part of the church's Royal Ambassadors program, Carter said, which made the deacon think that one day the boy would become a pastor himself. From a young age, Grant enjoyed fishing, baseball, chess and dominoes, Carter said."Whatever you knew how to do, Oscar already knew how to do it," he said.

Nine-millimetre Mack 11 machine pistol found with a cache of weapons during a drug search

A nine-millimetre Mack 11 machine pistol found with a cache of weapons during a drug search was an “unusual” find, said Constable Amy Phillipo of the London Police Service. London city police went looking for drugs today and found a stockpile of weapons, including a prohibited semi-automatic pistol that can easily be converted into an automatic gun. But knives and guns that can be legally purchased in Canada are frequently found during drug investigations, she said, adding some are registered and some are not. The semi-automatic Mack 11, which holds 13 rounds of ammunition, is a prohibited weapon in Canada, said a member of the drug and gun squad, adding it can be converted into an automatic weapon with simple modifications. “It has no military use,” he said. “It is not used by the Canadian forces.” Phillipo said the gun was seized along with drugs, seven knives, a homemade tazer and pepper spray after police executed a search warrant at a Dundas Street residence about 9:30 a.m. today. A suspect in a drug investigation was spotted and arrested at Dundas and Burwell streets before police searched the address listed on the warrant, said Phillipo. After the search, police charged Anthony Gratkowski, 23, of London with 11 weapons and firearms offences, possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of marihuana for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime. During the search, police also seized ammunition, a digital scale, 110 grams of marihuana bud, 2.5 kilograms of marihuana shake and a small quantity of cocaine as well as the weapons. Police displayed the seizure for the media this afternoon and the items included a bayonet with a grip handle and wrist strap, a machete with a long blade, a knife with a split blade and a dagger that tapers to a needle point.

Roberto Ramirez, who headed up the Delicias precinct, was the sixth Ciudad Juarez officer killed this week.

senior police commander's bullet-riddled body was found in the same spot where an apparent hitlist naming 26 officers was found days earlier, police said Thursday.
Roberto Ramirez, who headed up the Delicias precinct, was the sixth Ciudad Juarez officer killed this week. He was abducted late Wednesday and his body was found hours later, city police spokesman Jaime Torres said.Ramirez's body was left near a dog racetrack where the bodies of four civilians were found Monday, along with a hitlist that included the names of 26 officers. One of the four had been decapitated, and a Santa Claus hat had been placed on his head. A fifth man who survived was left bound and gagged next to the bodies.It was not immediately known if Ramirez's name appeared on the list.More than 40 Ciudad Juarez police have been killed this year, many in attacks blamed on drug gangs battling over territory. Some officers have quit, fearing for their lives after their names appeared on hitlists.
Ramirez was named precinct chief in May after several police commanders asked for early retirement because of the violence.City police officers have been ordered to patrol only in groups of three, and the city has shut down small guard stations this week because of the police killings, Torres said.Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, has been hit the hardest in a surge of drug-gang homicides sweeping Mexico. More than 1,300 people have been killed in the city of 1.3 million this year.Elsewhere, in the Pacific coast state of Michoacan, a decapitated body was found Thursday along a street in the town of Altamirano with a message believed left by drug gangs, according to a statement from state police. The victim's hands were bound with duct tape and the body's showed signs of being tortured.Across Mexico, more than 5,300 people have died in gangland-style killings in 2008 — more than double the number last year, according to government figures.President Felipe Calderon has sent more than 20,000 soldiers across the country to battle the drug trade, but cartels have responded with more violence.

Ballistics matched the shotgun shells to a July 2005 shooting at a junkyard near East 63rd Street and Swope Parkway. Gunmen shot and killed two guard

gun used in what police called a "thrill kill" could be linked to other random acts of violence, they said.Kansas City detectives have the shotgun.They know what shootings it's linked to, but they can't prove who pulled the trigger, so they can't file charges.And that is proving extremely frustrating for them. "The shotgun -- (that Fabian D. Brown Jr., and Raphael Willis used the shotgun to kill Robert Wynn Osborn, 43, in November of 2005) -- kept coming up in several other shootings that we had," said Sgt. Richard Sharp.Osborn was riding his bike home from his job as a grocer when Brown, 23, and Willis, 22, shot and killed him. They admitted it was a thrill kill and both men were sentenced to 15 years in prison."They're shooting at people just to be shooting at people. They had really no valid reason for doing it," Sharp said.Sharp said he believes Brown and Willis were part of a gang that shared the shotgun and used it in five or six other unsolved thrill shootings."We basically know who was at the scene. We basically know everything that happened, but the one instance that we don't have is who actually pulled the trigger," Sharp said.
Ballistics matched the shotgun shells to a July 2005 shooting at a junkyard near East 63rd Street and Swope Parkway. Gunmen shot and killed two guard dogs, then shot at the security guard, who was in his 90s.Two weeks later, police said the gunmen fired the same shotgun from the Sni A Bar Bridge at a motorist driving down Interstate 435.They wouldn't give out details in the other unsolved thrill shootings but they said the trend worries them."It makes it extremely dangerous for everybody because anybody can be a target," Sharp said.Police can only solve the unsolved shootings if someone comes forward and identifies the shooter, they said.
