City's first homicide of 1997 tied to loud music
An East Palo Alto man was shot and
killed early Sunday morning, apparently because he was playing a radio too
loudly.
The incident began when Jaime
Tajimaroa Huante, 25, of 2187 Clarke Ave., came home about 1 a.m. Sunday, Feb.
2, and was playing his car stereo loudly, said Sgt. Don O'Keefe of the East
Palo Alto Regional Investigative Bureau.
A man staying at the Clarke Street
house, Guillermo Baltazar Bernal, 19, complained to Huante about his radio, and
the two men started arguing, O'Keefe said.
At that point, witnesses saw Bernal
fire a semiautomatic handgun into the ground in front of Huante, who was
standing in the kitchen doorway. Witnesses told police that Bernal then shot
Huante in his arm, and Huante fell down on the kitchen floor. "Bernal then
came into the residence and fired two more shots into Huante's body as he lay
semi-conscious on the floor," O'Keefe said.
After the shooting, Bernal ran off
and Huante was taken to Stanford Hospital, where he later died.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Dr.
Richard Whittington, a coroner in Birmingham, England, has ruled that noisy
neighbors helped drive John Vanderstam, a 46-year-old Birmingham resident, to
suicide last November. The neighbors reportedly played loud music and had
domestic disputes frequently.
According to the article, Dr.
Whittington said Vanderstam died as a result of an assault on his eardrums
"just as much as a man who is hit in the face and falls to the
ground." The noise was "a cogent factor" in causing Vanderstam
to snap, the coroner said, adding "This should prey on the minds of those
who make noise, whoever they are."

POWAY ---- A man who allegedly threatened a
neighbor who complained about loud music went to jail, sheriff's Sgt. Larry
Kusler said Sunday.
The woman called deputies about 6:15 p.m. Saturday about music at a gathering
at another Crestline Drive home, Kusler said. Deputies arrived, told a man at
the home to turn down the sound and he did.
But after the deputies left, Kusler said, the
man went to the neighbor woman and threatened to kill her if she ever called
deputies again about him.
He drove her to a trailer park, led
her into a room wallpapered with posters of nude women and handcuffed her to
the bed before raping her. At one point, the suspect kissed the woman on the forehead
before going to his construction job, then changed his mind and raped her
again, police said.
The woman screamed when the man was
at work, but could not be heard over loud music he turned on before he left,
the affidavit said.
