Another man was shot in Councilman Benavides’ Ward midday. When will he push for more police services?

Here we go again! More violence in central Santa Ana and longtime Councilmembers like David Benavides and Sal Tinajero that represent much of that area, do not step up and push for more police services. Luckily, new Councilman Juan Villegas is very pro-public safety, but everyone on the Council should help.

As we reported earlier, today on n Sunday, April 2 at about 1:30 p.m. a man was riding his bicycle in the area of 700 South Pacific when he was confronted by a male pedestrian. A verbal confrontation occurred and the male pedestrian shot at the bicyclist.

The victim sustained a gunshot wound to the lower torso, according to SAPD Police Case # 17- 08805.

This shooting happened in the Central City Neighborhood, a few blocks northwest of Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School in Santa Ana’s Ward 4, which is represented by Councilman David Benavides.

    • No correction on you the person that was shot is a male so the title is stated right another "man" or "male" shot you only use "person" when the victim hasn't been identified by gender. Ve para atras a la escuela and por favor aprende antes corejir a otros because you only make yourself look bad

      • What I meant was that instead of saying that the person was shot in Benavides Ward, it should just read that he was shot in Santa Ana. So you need English comprehension. And your Spanish needs work too,,is not "corejir" but CORREGIR. Is not "Ve para tras a la escuela" es "Vuelve a la escuela". You forgot comas and a priod at the end.

        • We like to remind readers where the crimes are happening so that when the Council Members run for some other office they won't be able to brag about how they reduced crime.
