In yet another bizarre twist in the ongoing attempt to bring five suspects in the 2011 drive-by shooting that killed 14-year-old Tara Romero to trial, the attorney for one of the suspects had to recuse himself from the case Friday because his office is representing a victim of that shooting who is now a suspect in an unrelated violent crime spree that happened earlier this year in San Jose. 

The Gilroy woman in custody for murder charged with killing her husband and daughter in a drunken car crash 10 months ago has claimed she is mentally incompetent to withstand trial, stalling criminal proceedings, but not yet convincing the judge or the victims’ friends and family of her incapacity.

Sierra LaMar’s family and the returning volunteers continue to hold out hope that the missing 15-year-old will be found, and they think keeping the case in the public eye is the best way to preserve that hope.
