Open House for Unit in Amilcar’s Building Shut Down

Earlier this year on February 26th our neighbor Amilcar Perez-Lopez was shot from behind and killed by plainclothes SFPD officers mere feet from his home in the Mission. His housemates were forced out of their home weeks after the shooting, part of the epidemic of displacement from gentrification & house flipping. One of them had lived in his home for over a decade. Neighbors and friends of Amilcar gathered in that home to eat together and support one another. Amilcar’s family is in Guatemala but other parents who lost their children to police violence showed up for him too, including La Mesha Irizarry and Refugio and Elvira Nieto.

On July 24th, members of Justice 4 Amilcar noticed a unit in their old building had been advertised on craigslist – and the rent skyrocketed to over $4,000 for a two bedroom unit.

All over the Mission landlords have displaced locals to make room for gentrification. We want to let landlords know they can’t evict people and flip the apartment unscathed. We want to let the prospective renters that the old tenant was killed in front of that home by the institution meant to protect and serve him. We want them to know the community will not forget Amilcar.

The community gathered to express their outrage.

PETITION TO CRIMINALLY CHARGE THE POLICE OFFICERS WHO KILLED AMILCAR PEREZ LOPEZ, AND WHO SUBSEQUENTLY COVERED IT UP

Petición para traer cargos penales en contra de los oficiales de la policía que participaron y encubrieron en el asesinato de Amilcar Perez Lopez

Please sign and share our Change.org petition HERE.

English (ver la versión española de abajo). The San Francisco District Attorney, the California Attorney General, and the US Attorney’s office are all entities that have the power to file criminal charges.  We call on each entity to file criminal charges against the officers that shot and killed Amilcar Perez-Lopez in the Mission District on February 26, 2015, and to file criminal charges against Chief Greg Suhr for covering up the facts of the killing of Amilcar.
The official SFPD version of Amilcar’s death was originally that the officers “feared for their lives” because Amilcar “lunged at them”. However, an independent autopsy revealed that the six bullet wounds were all to the back of Amilcar’s body. The City Medical Examiner’s report was released just recently, and is consistent with this autopsy finding. Chief Suhr now admits that he was wrong but continues the cover-up. His new story is that Amilcar lunged at a bystander.
Criminal charges should be filed immediately, based on seeing six shots to the back of Amilcar’s body, the blood on Folsom Street and not on the sidewalk, the lack of any evidence that Amilcar confronted the plainclothes officers or anyone else in the final seconds prior to his shooting, and Chief Suhr’s inability to tell the truth.

Español El Fiscal del Distrito de San Francisco, el Fiscal General de California y el Fiscal Nacional son organos judiciales que tienen la capacidad de traer cargos penales. Estamos haciendo un llamado a estas agencias para que hagan representaciones públicas de cargos penales en contra de los policías que dispararon y asesinaron a Amilcar Perez-Lopez en el Distrito de la Mision el 26 de febrero de 2015, y de registrar cargos criminales en contra de Comandante Greg Suhr por encubrir la realidad del asesinato de Amilcar.
La versión oficial de la muerte de Amilcar orginalmente fué que los oficiales de la policía “temían por sus vidas” porque Amillara “se lanzo a ellos”. Sin embargo, una autopsia independiente revelo que seis de los balazos penetraron la espalda de Amilcar. El estudio hecho por la oficina de el Médico Forense fue publicado recientemente y confirma lo que la autopsia relato. El Comandante Suhr ahora admite que él estaba erróneo pero continúa encubriendo a los protagonistas del caso. Su nuevo relato es que Almicar se le fué encima a otro peatón.
Cargos criminales deben de ser introducidos inmediatamente, basado en los seis balazos en la espalda de Amilcar, su cuerpo en la calle Folsom y no en la acera como ellos dicen, la falta de evidencia que Amilcar confrontó a los policías o ninguna otra persona en los momentos antes que fue herido por balas y finalmente la incapacidad del Comandante Suhr de decir la verdad.

The Mission (SF) Marches, Rallies for Justice for Amilcar Perez-Lopez

Originally Published on IndyBay 

On April 24, neighbors for Justice for Amilcar held a vigil and march in honor of Amilcar Perez-Lopez, killed by SFPD on February 26, 2015.

Friday evening, concerned community members organized a vigil, march, and rally calling for justice in the state-killing of Amilcar Perez-Lopez. Shot six times in the back, once in the head by San Francisco Police Department, Amilcar was remembered and honored by all present as an honest, hard-working man. Friends, neighbors, and concerned individuals from throughout the Bay gathered at the site of the state-killing on Folsom street between 24th street and 25th street for a moving vigil. After the vigil, the nearly crowd of nearly 200 marched to the Mission Police District for a rally and die-in. The march was led by powerful, native Aztec dancers in ceremonial costume. Organized by the Justice for Amilcar committee, the march included members of the Mission faith community, Supervisor Dave Campos, Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth (HOMEY), and the San Francisco Organizing Project/Peninsula Interfaith Action (SFOP/PIA).

The action, held in the historic yet gentrifying Mission district, came on the heels of a press-conference in which the results of an independent autopsy were announced to the public. Conducted by the Sonoma County coroners office, the autopsy revealed disturbing conflicts in the story originally given by SFPD and Police Chief Greg Suhr. The police chief stated on March 2nd during a town-hall that Amilcar charged at the police with a knife raised. This story, though always contradicted by witnesses, was reprinted and published as fact by news outlets throughout the bay area. The press conference also announced the lawsuit filed by the parents of Amilcar against SFPD for their use of excessive, deadly force against their son. The lawsuit also charges SFPD with the failure to appropriately train, discipline, and supervise officers Tiffe and Reboldi.

Amilcar Perez-Lopez is a victim of police-terror, but he is also facing eviction – a fate he shares with people of color throughout the Mission and San Francisco. Speakers at the march connected the threat of eviction with the criminalization of black and brown people in San Francisco. Called by many the “bookends of gentrification,” SFPD has a deep history of criminalizing the presence of people of color, effectively pushing them out of the community they call home. While on Mission St, the march passed the dozens of restaurants patronized by the mostly white, young people who are the tenants that replace working class folks like Amilcar.

Community and Faith Leaders Call for Prayer Vigil and Accountability of SFPD in Response to Autopsy Report of Amilcar Perez Lopez

Community and Faith Leaders Call for Prayer Vigil and Accountability of SFPD in Response to Autopsy Report of Amilcar Perez Lopez

DATE: Friday, April 24 at 6PM

LOCATION: Starting on Folsom between 24th and 25th St, passing the Mission Police Station and ending at St. John the Evangelist Church, 1661 15th St.

WHO: Clergy, community members, families of victims of police shootings and Supervisor David Campos

Media Visuals: Prayer vigil, clergy praying, singing and marching, signs, Clergy in religious garb, Testimonies from families.

San Francisco, CA– On Friday, April 24, religious leaders and community members will come together for a prayer vigil and march in response to the findings of an autopsy on Amilcar Perez Lopez, who was killed in late February near Folsom and 24th Streets.

Faith Leaders and Community Organizations are outraged by the revelation that the young man was shot 6 times in the back – the fourth shooting death by SFPD in 2 years

The autopsy report, released this morning, reveals that Lopez was shot six times4 in the back, 1 in the arm and 1 in the head – after having dropped a knife and while attempting to run away from police, contradicting police statements that they were being attacked by Lopez and acted in self-defense.

“The situation is even worse than we had imagined,” says Roberto E. Alfaro, director of HOMEY, a youth development and violence prevention organization in San Francisco. “Not only was a young, hard-working man in our community killed by police, but it is now clear that the shooting was completely unjustified. This is the fourth police murder in two years in San Francisco. This must stop.”

Community members are being asked to gather tonight at the site of Lopez’s death to begin a prayer vigil and walk. The walk will take participants to the Mission Police Station and end at St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church, where Lopez’s funeral was held two weeks ago.

“It’s time for faith leaders and community members to step up and hold law enforcement and the criminal justice system accountable for what it is doing to our young people and our communities,” says Fr. Richard Smith, vicar of St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church and member of SFOP/PIA, a network of faith communities working on justice issues. “We will not stand quiet and let our people be gunned down by police. We will be working to change the system that allows this. This is only a first step.”

The Vigil and March is being led by the Justice for Amilcar committee and supported by HOMEY, the San Francisco Organizing Project/Peninsula Interfaith Action (SFOP/PIA) and others.

Latest Evidence Disproves SFPD Chief Suhr’s Version of the Killing of Amilcar Perez-Lopez

For Immediate Release:

Latest Evidence Disproves SFPD Chief Suhr’s Version of the Killing of Amilcar Perez-Lopez

Outraged Mission Community to Hold Vigil and March

What: Interfaith vigil and march in response to latest evidence that Amilcar Perez Lopez was murdered by SFPD
When: Friday, April 24, 6pm
Where: Beginning on Folsom Street, between 24th and 25th Streets

This Friday morning, April 24th, lawyers representing Amilcar Perez-Lopez and his family in Guatemala will file a lawsuit in the Northern District Federal Court in San Francisco seeking accountability for the killing of Amilcar by San Francisco plainclothes officers on February 26th. The Federal Complaint will reveal the true facts behind Amilcar’s heinous death, completely at odds with Chief Greg Suhr’s story.

Those of us in the Mission neighborhood know that the facts are not as the police have reported to the media. We know that the truth about how Amilcar was killed by the police will be revealed when the lawsuit is filed.

This Friday we will gather at the site of his murder on Folsom Street to demand justice for Amilcar, for other victims of racist police violence, and for the Mission District.” said spokesperson for the march and neighbor Florencia Rojo.

Amilcar Perez-Lopez was assassinated in a hail of police bullets three doors away from his Mission apartment on Folsom Street at 9:45 p.m. on February 26th. Soon after, SFPD Chief Greg Suhr blamed Amilcar for his own death at the hands of plainclothes officers. As in each recent shooting case in San Francisco – Alejandro Nieto on March 21, 2014, OShaine Evans on October 7, 2014, and Amilcar on February 26th, Chief Suhr claimed the shootings were justified based on his officers’ “reasonable fear” for their safety.

The evidence revealed on Friday morning, and in particular the autopsy findings, will unequivocally confirm that the officers were in no threat of any danger as Amilcar Perez Lopez was not attacking the officers—but rather fleeing from the officers after having dropped the knife. Most importantly, this evidence will unequivocally confirm that the killing of Amilcar was absolutely unjustified. The SFPD’s official version, which was announced to the public by Chief Suhr, is a fabrication intended to shield the shooting officers from prosecution.

We in the neighborhood knew Amilcar as a hard working, young Guatemalan immigrant struggling to build a decent life for himself in this country. He worked multiple jobs in the construction and the restaurant trades. Despite how hard Amilcar worked, he sent money to his family in Guatemala to help support them. Amilcar was a good human being, a good neighbor and a wonderful provider for his family. There was no reason to shoot him. We will march on Friday with families of other victims of police shootings to demand that the truth come out and justice be done! said Eduardo Roman, a co-worker and friend of Amilcar.

According to march organizer, Father Richard Smith of St. John’s Episcopal Church, “There is a prevalent death culture in the SFPD. They view their mission in our community as a them-against-us situation. I fear for my parishioners and all the innocent youth of color who live with a constant fear that on any day a police bullet may take their young lives. 

I am urging all concerned members of our community to join us for this Fridays vigil and march to stand up for Amilcar and for justice. 

Events and locations:

  • Interfaith vigil with words, music, song, and native dance. On Folsom Street, between 24th and 25th (the site of the killing of Amilcar by SFPD), 6pm

RSVP here

On Friday, April 24th, on behalf of Amilcar’s family, Attorney Arnoldo Casillas will file a civil lawsuit against the City of San Francisco and officers Craig Tiffe and Eric Reboli who killed Amilcar Perez-Lopez mere feet from his home.

Services Held for Amilcar in San Francisco and Guatemala

In the U.S.

On Saturday, April 4, 2015 at 4:00 pm, Amilcar Perez Lopez’s friends and neighbors gathered at St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church in San Francisco’s Mission District to reflect on Amilcar’s life and renew our commitment to justice for Amilcar. Videos of the service, including the indigenous prayer, words from the Rev’d Dr. Richard Smith, and testimonials from members of Justice for Amilcar Committee, can be found below. The following day, Easter Sunday, the Rev’d. Dr. Richard Smith reflected on Amilcar and other victims of police and state violence in his sermon.

Back in Guatemala

After a month of waiting, Amilcar’s father Juan Perez still had not received his visa to the U.S. At that time Amilcar’s family decided that they wanted his body to return home without further delay. On Monday, April 6, Amilcar’s family received his body in his home village in Guatemala, and in the days that followed his loving community honored Amilcar’s life through tradition, prayer, and worship.

Amilcar was survived by his two loving parents and five younger siblings.

Media covers disparity between police version and eyewitness & neighbor accounts

Mission Local: Eyewitnesses Speak Up at Vigil for Amilcar López-Pérez, 3/8/2015

For the first time the roommates of the 21 year-old Guatemalan shot to death by two plainclothes officers on Feb. 26 have come forward to give their version of events.

The two roommates, who asked that their name not be used for fear of reprisals, offered their statements to some 60 neighbors, activists, community members, and relatives of other victims killed by police who gathered at a Saturday vigil for Amilcar López-Pérez.

“The day he was killed, we saw everything,” one said in Spanish. “I want to say everything I know, but I am scared,” he said adding that he feared being deported for not cooperating with police.

Both of the roommates are facing an eviction at the end of the month.

Once again, their version differed sharply from the official version which casts López-Pérez as allegedly attempting to steal a bicycle with a knife when two plainclothes officers came on the scene at 9:45 p.m.  The alleged victim thanked police for saving his life, police reported on the night of the incident.

However, neighbors and eye witnesses  assert that police walked into a crime in progress and confused López-Pérez as a suspect, when in fact he was the victim.  The witnesses said that the cyclist stole López-Pérez’s cell phone and he was chasing after him.

One of the eyewitnesses offered more details at Saturday’s vigil.  “The cops came from behind him,” he said. “He didn’t realize they were cops. He squirmed away and ran towards the two (parked) cars. They ordered him to drop the weapon, he did -over there- (he signaled to the side of the altar on the sidewalk) and then they shot him.”

The witness said he has “been quiet, but I can’t sleep.”  He made the statements in Spanish to some 60 people gathered around the memorial on Folsom Street, near 25th.

Mission Local: At Vigil on Folsom St, Sharply Different Account of Police Shooting, 3/2/2015

While some neighbors said earlier that López had been drinking all day and attempted to steal a bicycle with a knife when he was shot and killed by police last Thursday at 9:45 p.m on Folsom and 25th Streets; others told a different story on Sunday night.  Their story – including eyewitness accounts – indicate there was confusion by police on who was the victim – in part, because Perez-López had a knife.

One of his roommates, who declined to give his name, said López was on the street when a person known to the area took his cellphone and took off on a bicycle. López went into his house to get a knife to recover his phone. Then, plainclothes cops appeared “from out of nowhere and one grabbed him from behind,” said López’s roommate, who saw the incident.

Eduardo Román, a contractor who often used to work with López for a refrigerator maintenance company, said the two had been working on Thursday at a nearby restaurant on 21st and South Van Ness before he dropped off López at around 8:30 p.m. Little more than an hour later, López had been shot and killed by police.

When Román dropped him off, Román said, López was not drunk and had not been drinking on the job, but it is possible that he had a few drinks after work.

On the night of the incident, police reported that López  was chasing another man on Folsom at 9:45 p.m. But instead of him chasing someone who had taken his cell phone, police reported that López had allegedly been trying to steal the bicycle of the man he was chasing.

“According to several witnesses, the officers ordered the suspect to drop the knife,” wrote Sergeant Monica MacDonald in a description of the incident on that Thursday night. “The situation escalated and the officers fired at the suspect.”

The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said that evening that the officers “fired between four and six times, which is consistent with the casings recovered from the scene.”

The two officers were placed on administrative leave.

On Sunday night activists, neighbors, and some friends of López gathered at the vigil to speak against the use of force by police. They described López as a short man –he was only 5’0, who did not speak English and would often work 12-14 hour shifts to cover his multiple jobs in construction and restaurants.

SFGate: Neighbors furious over fatal police shooting in Mission, 3/3/2015

A man fatally shot by police in San Francisco’s Mission District last week was not a knife-wielding robbery suspect, his friends and neighbors said Monday, but a hardworking Guatemalan immigrant who was trying to get his cell phone back from the man police said he was trying to rob.

Neighbors provided a conflicting version of the shooting that killed Amilcar Perez-Lopez, 21, as San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr stood by the police account that Perez-Lopez was armed and trying to steal a bicycle from another man when two plainclothes officers encountered him at 24th and Folsom streets about 9:45 p.m. Thursday.

“Lies! Those are lies!” community members shouted at the chief as he tried to speak at a town hall meeting at Cesar Chavez Elementary School.

CBS Local: Religious Leaders Condemn Fatal SFPD Shooting of Man Witnesses Say Was Real Robbery Victim, 3/11/2015

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)— The demands of justice for Amilcar Perez-Lopez, the 21-year-old Guatemalan man shot and killed by two San Francisco police officers last month continued outside City Hall on Wednesday.

Faith leaders and community members decided to file a complaint with the city’s Office of Citizen Complaints in hopes that an independent investigation into the shooting will be conducted.

Community members have disputed the police version of events that led up to Perez-Lopez’s death on February 26th and rejected a police allegation that Perez-Lopez was trying to steal a bicycle at the time of the shooting.

San Francisco Chronicle reported that neighbors of Perez-Lopez talked to witnesses who were interviewed and that none of them support the police version of the story that Perez-Lopez was trying to steal the man’s bicycle.

Neighbors for Justice 4 Amilcar Perez-Lopez (Press Release 3-2-2015)

Neighbors for Justice for Amilcar Perez-Lopez issue a press release on March 2, 2015 to denounce SFPD townhall meeting and demand justice for Amilcar.

NEIGHBORS FOR JUSTICE 4 AMILCAR PEREZ-LOPEZ (PRESS RELEASE 3-2-2015)

Town Hall Meeting, March 2, 2015, at Cesar Chavez Elementary School, 22nd and Shotwell

Updates on the case can be found at the Justice 4 Amilcar Perez-Lopez Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/groups/353672264838421/

Amilcar Perez-Lopez was a 21 year old man from Guatemala, living and working in the Mission. Amilcar regularly sent money to his family back home, and supported his friends in the neighborhood. Amilcar and his household were facing eviction at the end of March.

Amilcar and his 24th/Folsom housemates were all acquaintances with a bicyclist in the neighborhood. They were together on Thursday night, February 26. The story is that the bicyclist knew that Amilcar and his housemates were facing eviction, and tried to stop Amilcar from entering his home with the claim that Amilcar didn’t live there. Words were exchanged, things got heated.

None of the witnesses interviewed to date support the police claim that Amilcar ever threatened to steal the bicyclist’s bike, as stated in the police account reported by the media.

Amilcar gained entry to his home and went back out on Folsom. There is an unconfirmed report that the bicyclist had taken Amilcar’s cell phone. Amilcar was reportedly armed with a knife.

At least two plainclothes officers were behind him in their car. They got out of their car, trained their guns on Amilcar, and grabbed him from behind, shouting “drop the knife” without identifying themselves as police officers.

Amilcar was not an English speaker. He wiggled out of their grasp, reportedly dropped his knife, and ran into the street between two parked cars. The plainclothes officers shot Amilcar. The bicyclist was taken into custody and handcuffed at the scene of the shooting.

The neighbors were not allowed to leave their homes and witness the aftermath. They were told things like “lock your doors” and “get away from the windows” by the plainclothes officers.

Amilcar bled to death in the street, rather than being raced to SF General’s Trauma Unit just blocks away. His body was was left on the street between the parked cars and left there until taken away in a Coroner’s vehicle around 11pm.
