Williams man arrested for attempted murder
Tuesday, Nov 10 2009, 6:05 pm
A Williams man was arrested for attempted murder for reportedly trying to run down two men with his car, striking one in the parking lot of the Colusa County Fairgrounds, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Gayro Velazquez, 21, of the 900 block of North Street, turned himself into authorities on Sunday afternoon and was booked into Colusa County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, the CHP reported.
The arrest stems from an incident late Saturday night at the fairgrounds, where the CHP, Colusa police and Colusa County sheriff's deputies responded to a call of a fight involving 15 to 20 people, according to a report released by the CHP on Monday.
The CHP said a wedding reception at been taking place at the fairgrounds, and a verbal argument had started. Law enforcement was called to the scene at 11:40.
Velazquez had reportedly been punched by two men identified as Jesus Chavez, 31, of Colusa, and Felix Silva, 19, of Arbuckle, while he was sitting in his car, the CHP reported.
The men fled the scene on foot when uniformed security officers got to the scene, the CHP reported.
Velazquez, according to witness statements to the CHP, then "accelerated his vehicle" and hit Silva, and narrowly missed Chavez, the CHP report states.
Silva was airflighted to Sutter Memorial Hospital, where he was reported to have head injuries and several broken bones, the CHP said.
He remained on life support in the intensive care unit on Tuesday, authorities reported.
The CHP stated that Velazquez contacted its office about 12:30 on Sunday. He was arrested at his home about 25 minutes later.

| It seems that the person that left the comment, FELIX I'M SO GLAD YOUR GETTING THROUGH THIS LIKE A SAVAGE I CANT WAIT TILL YOU COME HOME, does not understand the meaning of the word savage. The word means, a person lacking the restraints normal to civilized human beings. A savage criminal. Basically a person that is uncivilized. I hope I have helped you with your english for today. Have a nice day. |

| What is the difference with a Chihuahua and the personalities ofter displays by most moxican people? Answer, not much. They both like to fight, and make a lot of noise. |

| The police probably don't want to see it this way. But what if the witness statements are not accurate, meaning the real truth? If there was 15 to 20 people fighting, I certainly do not see that Velazquez was fighting them all by himself. And he was attacked in his car. I wonder, which side of the fight where the witnesses associated with? |

| Why was it necessary that Jesus Chavez and Felix Silva, followed Gayro Velazquez to his car. And then started attacking him in the first place? At the least, that is assult and battery. They knew they were doing something wrong when they ran as security officers were ariving. There in lies guilt. And they should have been arrested too. I think that Mr. Velazquez recognizes he has to be accountable too. He turned himself in to the police to answer for what he did. He did the right thing. I see the chain of events in a different way though. Is it possible that Mr. Velazquez was acting in self defence? If you are in your vehicle, and two people attack you, don't you think you would respond in some way? With whatever you have available to you at the time? I certainly would. As reported by the CHP, this ivolves the CHP, Colusa police and Colusa County sheriff's deputies respondind to a call of a fight involving 15 to 20 people. Mr. Velazquez was in his vehicle, leaving the problem as a adult, and then was attacked. It seems to me that many other people should have been arrested, and cited at least for disturbing the peace. This just does not add up. |

| are people really leaving threats on here. whos going to be scared about an internet gangster. not anyone. put all that energy to good use. get a job. help build our community into a stronger one and help us grow as a whole. its so sad to see people still living small minded and not focusing on the world as a whole. listen up all you losers, no one cares what your little gang plans are. colusa is nothing compared to the actual real gangs there are in the world. stop wasting your time with this drama and set a good example for the next generation. its terrible that generations repeat themselves. lets set a good example so we actually have a chance at living in a good world. not all this drama that you poor minded fantasize about. grow up. |
