Update

Just found out that the young woman who was murdered was in a small group my wife led a few years ago at BCM. The BCM staff is dealing with the loss. A few years ago our summer team had an appropriate slogan, "Ministry is not a game!" How true that feels right now.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported:
"East Palo Alto police today were still trying to figure out why someone shot an 18-year-old woman in the head as she drove her car.

Seema Singh, 18, of East Palo Alto, was found dead behind the wheel of her Honda Accord with a single gunshot wound to her left temple after the vehicle crashed into a utility pole Monday night, police said. Singh was about a half-mile from her home, Lt. Tom Alipio said.

The woman was believed to have been alone in the car, and police have no suspects or motive in the killing, Alipio said.

"To tell you the truth, I can't make heads or tails of it," Alipio said. "There was nothing to indicate that she would be involved in anything bad.""

At the time, Crouse was tough and wouldn't let people get close to him. "Over the years, Phil became a humble, teachable, sweet guy" who was able to reach kids with rough e

PageMill, Wells Fargo and Sam Zell

Dear Friends,  Normal.dotm 0 0 1 888 5066 Northern California Urban Development 42 10 6221 12.0 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false As many of you know we've been in discussion recently with Wells Fargo and Equity Residential, the proposed buyers of the former Pagemill Properties on the west side of East Palo Alto.  As an East Palo Alto resident and leader I view this issue, and how Wells Fargo handles this important portfolio as a milestone event for our community and it’s residents. First, a little background (from my perspective):  A few years ago over 80% of East Palo Alto's multi family housing stock was purchased piece by piece by a predator equity group, Pagemill Properties. After the purchase Pagemill began systematically dismantling our rent control ordinances and aggressively evicting working class families. The community was in shock.
