SAN DIEGO
An alleged gang member accused in a pair of killings over the past 13 months in Emerald Hills pleaded not guilty Friday to two counts of murder and other felony charges.
A co-defendant in the case, who is not in custody and has not been formally charged, is also suspected in taking part in the slaying last year as well as committing a 2016 murder at the same Emerald Hills park where a victim was gunned down last month, according to prosecutors.
San Diego police arrested 21-year-old Kenneth Earl Brooks last week on suspicion that he and an accomplice, 23-year-old Tahjee Ector, shot and killed Arif Abdalla on May 31, 2020. A third man is also named in a criminal complaint as allegedly taking part in the slaying, though he’s not named as a co-defendant in the case.
Ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, the online sharing platform announced it is extending its global ban on all parties and events at Airbnb listings through at least the end of this summer

Those of us who frequent busy streets in Hillcrest, Bankers Hill and Little Italy have just suffered a second insult courtesy of San Diego. To start with, parking on these busy streets is virtually nonexistent already. Then the city decided to create armored bike lanes that most bikers do not use. Now San Diego will allow restaurants to encroach into the streets for yet another year.
Of course the pandemic has devastated restaurants, and we all want them to stay in business. But what of the rest of us who need to park somewhere? The city has created a nightmare of barricaded streets and fortified sidewalks, blocking most parking and making a visit to Hillcrest or Bankers Hill a nightmare.

Long-time sweethearts Raymond E. and Valerie Hanks spent their Cinco de Mayo sitting side-by-side Wednesday outside of the adjoining senior living facilities in Bankers Hill they call home.
In normal years, it wouldn’t be strange for the married couple of 55 years to spend an afternoon in the shared courtyard of St. Paul’s Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and St. Paul’s Manor.
But after a year kept largely apart due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the afternoon felt special.
When Valerie, 76, first moved into St. Paul’s Nursing four years ago because of her worsening dementia and multiple sclerosis, it was difficult for Raymond, 82, as he adjusted to her absence. He soon moved into the adjoining Manor an independent living facility to be closer to her, and they would visit about six times a day either in his apartment, the courtyard or at the nursing home.
