A gangland enforcer, previously suspected of killing a man, is now being questioned regarding the attempted murder of Alexis Lee Campion, who was set on fire.

A 20-year-old Syrian refugee has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for attempted murder and other charges. He stabbed a 30-year-old Spanish tourist in the neck at Berlin's Holocaust memorial last year. The victim sustained life-threatening injuries, requiring emergency surgery and an induced coma.

When one of two victims confronted him and asked him to leave, Strawn got into the passenger seat of a friend's Pontiac and fired multiple rounds from an illegal assault rifle as the vehicle drove away. No victims were struck. Authorities said the rifle jammed after several rounds were fired.

An SFPD officer assigned to Oakland was nearly killed on the job Tuesday, in an eventful car chase that featured a murder attempt, a wrong-way chase on I-580, and Oakland Police opening fire for reasons even they can't explain. A San Francisco Police Department officer can occasionally be assigned to work in Oakland. One SFPD officer had such duty Tuesday, with SFPD's Community Violence Reduction Team.

A coach at Elmhurst Middle School was standing on campus during a break when two men pulled up in a Chevrolet Tahoe, wearing ski masks, and jumped out of the car, according to police. "You got my cousin jumped," one of them allegedly told the man. "We're going to smoke you." A month later, on Dec. 15, one of the men made good on his threats, police said. The coach was walking on 98th Avenue during the day when a man pulled up in, asked the coach if he worked at Elmhurst, then opened fire twice. Both shots missed the coach, who called police after the gunman's Chevrolet Tahoe sped off.
