Glendale police arrest 3 teens in shooting death of Phoenix 18-year-old

, The Republic | azcentral.com7:15 p.m. MST July 5, 2016

Glendale police arrested three teens in the shooting death of 18-year-old Phoenix man Brenner “Justin” Anderson in what investigators described as a drug robbery turned deadly.

Police said Tuesday that Salem Ornelas and Talmontrai Taylor, both 18, and a 17-year-old girl were arrested over the weekend on suspicion of murder.

Police said that Anderson planned to meet and sell marijuana to a girl on June 29 at an apartment complex near Glendale and 43rd avenues. During the planned deal, police said Anderson was shot. He was pronounced dead the following day at a West Valley hospital.

Anderson’s friend told police that Anderson had arranged via Facebook to sell a half-ounce of marijuana to the female suspect, according to court documents.

While on the way to make the deal, Anderson told his friend that the female suspect would be at the location with her pregnant sister, according to court documents.

When Anderson and his friend arrived at the apartment complex, the friend saw a male and a female standing in the parking lot. Anderson got out of the vehicle to greet the suspects and Anderson’s friend offered to give the suspects a ride to an ATM machine to pay for the marijuana, according to court documents.

Court documents indicate that as Anderson entered the rear driver’s side of the vehicle, a male suspect pulled a tan-colored backpack from the vehicle that contained the marijuana. After the suspect took the bag and Anderson had entered the backseat, Anderson’s friend told investigators he heard multiple gunshots. The friend discovered Anderson had been shot and drove him to a nearby hospital, according to court documents.

Investigators used social media to identify the 17-year-old female suspect, who was located in the same vicinity of the shooting, according to court documents.

Detectives performed surveillance of the apartment complex and later obtained a search warrant before arresting the three suspects.

Ornelas and Taylor were booked at a Maricopa County jail and the female suspect was booked at Durango Juvenile Court.

We need to send Eritrea to the International Criminal Court

By Joseph K. Grieboski, contributor

As one of the world’s most oppressive regimes, the Eritrean government has committed extensive crimes against humanity over the past 25 years, according to a report released June 8 by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea. President Isaias Afwerki, in power since Eritrea’s independence in 1991 following the 30-year war with Ethiopia, has led an increasingly repressive authoritarian regime. The U.N. commission found that enslavement, enforced disappearance, rape, murder, torture and religious persecution are systematically used to instill fear in Eritreans and maintain the regime’s power. These blatant violations of international law clearly constitute crimes against humanity as widespread, systematic attacks against the civilian population.

The Eritrean leadership’s brutality is particularly evident in its enslavement of up to 400,000 people, primarily through military conscription. Eritrea’s system of open-ended service forces conscripts to serve indefinitely, often for decades at a time. This deprivation of liberty amounts to modern-day slavery and allows for inhumane treatment, which Eritrea currently has no legal mechanisms to redress. In military camps, conscripts are frequently subjected to torture, sexual and gender-based violence, forced labor and domestic servitude. Recent developments could further exacerbate their situation. On June 21, Eritrea accused Ethiopia of contemplating full-scale war, strengthening the Eritrean regime’s justification for compulsory military service as a necessary response to perceived Ethiopian aggression.

    Airbnb takes San Francisco to federal court over short-term rental law

    Taryn Phaneuf Jun. 30, 2016, 8:48pm

    SAN FRANCISCO – Airbnb has sued the city and county of San Francisco over a law that puts companies like it on the hook if they promote short-term housing rentals by a host that hasn’t registered with the city and county.

    “As the ordinance’s own sponsors have described it, the ordinance holds ‘hosting platforms accountable for the hundreds of units (rented by) unscrupulous individuals’ posting listings on their websites,” the court complaint reads. “As such, the ordinance unquestionably treats online platforms such as Airbnb as the publisher or speaker of third-party content and is completely preempted by the CDA.”

    In 2014, San Francisco began requiring residents who rent rooms or entire homes to tourists through websites like Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway to register. But enforcement has been an issue: Only about 1,400 of an estimated 7,000 hosts had registered more than a year later. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed an amendment June 14 requiring websites to vet local listings and only post those whose hosts are registered. It fines companies if they don’t comply with the law.

    Airbnb opposed the addition to the law and now has officially challenged it through a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, claiming it violates Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which protects online services that publish third-party content from being held liable for the speech and actions of others.
