According to police, San Jose and Morgan Hill officers received a call about a man who shot at a vehicle with three passengers inside. The gunman has been identified as Velázquez and is said to have shot dead a man who was later transported to a local hospital with injuries, according to police. The report says Velázquez tracked down a woman and another man, who was later identified as Harry Goularte Jr.

Police say Velázquez fired a gun at Goulart, who was recently accused of harassing a close relative of the retired master of mixed martial arts. Gularte was charged with a felony and lewd act against a child on February 25th and was released under supervision, police said.

Gularte lived in day care run by his mother. According to police, Goularte’s mother was in the car that Velázquez shot at. Authorities said day care had been temporarily closed.

Harry Gularte Jr. was arrested on February 25, 2022, for allegedly touching a minor victim.

After the arrest of Velazquez, Morgan Hill police found a .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol in the suspect’s car with nine bullets loaded with 10 rounds of ammunition, a police report said. There was another cartridge in the console that had three bullets, and two .40-cliber cartridges were found in the passenger seat. Police say the gun was legally registered to Velazquez.

Police said four shell casings were found at the scene of the shooting, and a cartridge case was placed in the vehicle in which the victims were sitting.

The accusation of attempted murder of Velazquez stems from his shooting at Goulart, according to The Mercury News. He also faces charges of shooting at an occupied vehicle, multiple assaults and a weapon charge.

“The sad tragedy is that Mr. Velazquez chose to take the law into his own hands, endangering the public and everyone in the truck,” Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen told KTVU. “This act of violence also causes more pain and suffering to his family.

On Tuesday, Washington coach Ron Rivera made it clear that the team covers all bases in search of a new coach. On Wednesday, Washington CEO Martin Mayhew made it clear that the team is literally doing just that.

“We feel we have effectively campaigned for the league,” Mayhew told reporters through ESPN.com’s John Kane. “We talked to every club that has a quarterback that may be available.

Mayhew said the commanders did the same a year ago.

“If you don’t have a quarterback franchise, you need to have urgency [finding one] every year, “Mayhew said. “It simply came to our notice then. I’m not sure it was a fair fight for Matthew [Stafford] I will leave it there last year. We did our best to find the right person. “

This was not a fair battle for Stafford for several reasons. First, then the new lions general Brad Holmes got the job after working for Rams. It was an open and easy line of communication. Second, Rams had to find a broader deal in which Jared Goff’s contract could be included in order to keep his face on the terrible contract they had given him.

Mayhew was not the first to express concern that competition for Stafford was not as open as it could have been, or perhaps as it should have been. The Lions may have gotten more by holding an open auction for Stafford. On the other hand, there were teams that Stafford did not want to play for. He obviously wanted to play for Rams and obviously succeeded.

This year, Washington is actively searching. And that may not necessarily be the case through trade.

“It’s a quality quarterback this year,” Mayhew said. “Right now, I think there may be some division here at the plant. We can see some of this happening. But we know what our options are for next year. We are looking to look at it now, if possible. And that’s where our focus is. “

Taylor Heinicke may not be excited about this, but he had a chance to become the man Washington needed. He is not. So now they will look elsewhere. And they will keep looking until they find one.

LONDON, March 2 – Russian businessman Roman Abramovich said on Wednesday he would sell Chelsea football club 19 years after buying it and put the team on the road to sporting fame, and promised to donate money from the sale to help victims of the war in Ukraine.

Amid growing calls for Abramovich to be affected by sanctions following Russia’s invasion of his neighbor, the metal tycoon said in a statement that the sale was in the best interests of current European and world football champions.

“In the current situation, I decided to sell the club because I think it is in the best interests of the club, the fans, the employees, as well as the sponsors and partners of the club,” he said.

Abramovich has said he will not ask for loans he has given to the Premier League club – a total of £ 1.5 billion ($ 2.0 billion) – to be repaid and the sale will not be quick.

He told his aides to set up a charity that would receive all the net proceeds from the sale.

“The foundation will benefit all victims of the war in Ukraine,” Abramovich said in a statement.

“This includes providing critical resources for the urgent and urgent needs of victims, as well as supporting long-term recovery work.”

Swiss business mogul Hansjörg Vis told a newspaper that he was considering buying Chelsea from Abramovich, who said over the weekend that he was stepping down from the club, but did not mention plans to change ownership.

“Abramovich is currently trying to sell all his villas in England. He also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly now. I, along with three others, received an offer on Tuesday to buy Chelsea from Abramovich,” Blick was quoted as saying. Wyss in an interview published Wednesday. Read more

TORTURE OF TROPHIES

Abramovich bought the club from West London in 2003 for 140 million pounds and his investment contributed greatly to the most successful era in the history of the team, as they won five Premier League titles, five English Cups and twice the Champions League. .

His purchase of the club helped transform the English football landscape, with Chelsea breaking the grip of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

They beat Brazilian side Palmeiras last month to win the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time since beating Manchester City to become European champions last season.

The “seismic moment” was how BBC presenter and former England striker Gary Lineker described the announcement before the FA Cup fifth round match in Luton Town.

Chelsea fans on Kenilworth Road chanted the name of the Russian before the start.

The 55-year-old man, who has Israeli and Portuguese citizenship, has become one of Russia’s most influential businessmen, earning great fortunes since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Forbes estimates his net worth at $ 13.3 billion.

Following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, Britain has imposed sanctions on 12 members of Russia’s and Belarusian elites, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, and at least 12 banks and companies.

Britain’s Labor opposition leader Keir Starmer asked Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday why there were no sanctions against the Chelsea owner. Speaking in parliament, Johnson said he could not go into detail.

But Foreign Minister Liz Truss warned that she had compiled a “list of killed” Russian oligarchs and said the government would impose new sanctions on them every few weeks.

The Financial Times says the government is also plotting to seize property owned by Russian oligarchs. Read more

However, David Davis, a veteran MP from Johnson’s ruling Conservative Party, said the sale should be blocked until Abramovich proves the source of his wealth.

“We must do everything we can to prevent him from selling off his assets in the United Kingdom,” Davis said on Twitter.

Abramovich said the decision to sell was incredibly difficult.

“I hope to be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person,” he said.

Abramovich turned his back on life in London in 2018, when the British government delayed the renewal of his visa after the assassination attempt on a former Russian double agent in England, whom Moscow blamed.

“It has been a lifelong privilege for me to be part of Chelsea FC and I am proud of all our joint achievements,” he said.

“Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart.

Our standards: ‘ principles of trust.

He felt that the crisis in Chelsea was on the verge of further damage. Luton’s striker Harry Cornick was vying to get his team back in the lead just before halftime, and Kenilworth Road shook. The pursuers of the promotion in the championship sniffed out the FA Cup disorder.

It is impossible to follow Chelsea right now, this week of all weeks, without being distracted by the bigger, more serious picture. In other words, the unraveling of Roman Abramovich’s property amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

There have been calls in parliament to sanction the oligarch, his move to try to hand over the Chelsea administration to their charity and, on the verge of starting here, confirmation that he intends to sell the club.

From a football standpoint, Chelsea are rocked by the loss of the final penalty for the Carabao Cup on Sunday from Liverpool, albeit after a decent performance, and now they were looking at disappointment against Luton.

They managed to reunite in the second half, a major relief among the emotions for Thomas Tuchel, not least as the two struggling strikers of the manager reversed the tie. After a tactical change to 3-5-2 that put them side by side, Timo Werner scored an equalizer with a fine touch and a finish. He then crossed low to the right for Romelu Lukaku to slide home the winner. Despite Luton’s battle, especially in the first half, Chelsea had too much.

Shortly after 6 pm, Abramovich released his statement on the planned sale. He will not want to withdraw his 1.5 billion pounds in loans, and the net proceeds from the change of ownership, he said, will be donated to a charity fund that will benefit the victims of the war in Ukraine. Abramovich’s name would be heard at various points by Chelsea fans. “You are uncomfortable,” the hosts replied.

The story unfolds quickly and, as at Wembley on Sunday, casts an inevitable shadow over the game. What is the point of everything, including football, when war tore apart a country?

Against the background of existential issues, Tuchel’s task was to direct Chelsea to the sixth quarter-final of the FA Cup in seven seasons, and as he made radical changes to his final line-up for the Carabao Cup, it was important that his opponent, Nathan Jones, did so. . kind of. For Luton’s manager, the Middlesbrough and Coventry Championship matches on Saturday and Tuesday, respectively, are crucial.

Luton started with fierce intensity – the players ate with the audience and vice versa – and were ahead two minutes later when Reese Burke reached Luke Berry’s corner in front of Malang Sar to send a loop with his head in the far corner. It felt like Chelsea were still trying to figure out who was who and where. Tuhel started with Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the middle of the back three, while Kennedy had Chelsea’s first start since January 2018.

Tuhel’s team is stabilizing. As they began to crawl forward, Saul sent a header straight at Harry Isted. What a night it was for the reserve goalkeeper. He had joined in instead of Jed Stear, who had twisted his ankle in a horrible way, only for his third appearance in Luton. The other two were in the Football League trophy.

When Saul scored an equalizer – his first goal for Chelsea – after a good job at Mason Mount without a break and a break from the ball by Werner, Chelsea reached out to the Jugler. They created a bunch of situations, the best of which was one on one for Saul, whom Isted saved. There was a Kennedy rocket that the porter overturned; Lukaku’s shot, which made a good save, and the moment Isted misjudged Antonio Rüdiger’s long ball and missed it.

Luton felt that Chelsea was vulnerable. Dan Potts squandered a chance with a header after rising high in the 26th minute while his team created problems with their direct running. They turned the tie upside down when Admiral Musque released Kornik behind Chelsea’s high line of defense. The attacker’s finish was marked by icy calm. He was apparently on the line despite Chelsea’s protests, as Sarr was late to leave.

Brick needed more than so many players. It was gloomy for Lukaku and Werner until the middle of the second half, but everything changed quickly after the tactical change of the manager.

Werner looked uncertain, his touch heavy. He had given the ball away terribly. But that came together for him when Loftus-Cheek, who excelled with the ball at those feet, especially when driving forward, played a long pass up into the inner left canal. This time Werner’s control was excellent and the finale, the body open to the side leg, was true. A moment later, Werner became a supplier and Lukaku was a grateful beneficiary. There was nothing left for Luton.

Tennis superstar Serena Williams has insulted the New York Times that she misused a photo of her sister in a report about herself.

Syracuse, New York – Jim Boheim has revealed that Syracuse has a plan for his eventual retirement and who will succeed him as basketball coach.

The topic of Boheim’s retirement reappeared after the loss of Syracuse to Duke 97-79 on Saturday, which turned out to be the last match for Mike Krzyzewski, the retired coach of Duke, who is also a close friend of Boheim.

On Wednesday, Boheim surprised Brent Ax, host of “On the Block” on ESPN Radio Syracuse, by calling at the beginning of the Ax show.

As he did on Saturday, Boheim said he would return as coach of the Oranges in the 2022-23 season.

Boheim, 77, in his 46th season as head coach, said he had told each of Syracuse’s five high school recruits in the 2022 recruiting class that he would be in Syracuse to coach them. next season. Boheim said his thoughts on coaching have not changed, even when Syracuse are battling to a 15-15 record this season.

“I think if I say I’m giving up now that I’ve given my word to these players, it will look like, ‘Oh, they had a bad year, so he’s just going to give up,'” Boheim said. “It simply came to our notice then. Maybe not to you. Maybe not someone else’s. But I would see that. “He has given his word to these players, he is healthy, he feels great, but they are having a bad year, so he will just give up.”

But then Boheim revealed the big news: that he has a plan for when he will retire as coach of Syracuse and how the succession will take place.

“I will not tell you or anyone when this will happen, (but) we have a plan in place,” Boheim said. “Good plan. Plan with iron. This is not my decision. I don’t name the coach, as people say all the time. I have not contributed to any (athletic director) who has ever been hired here, nor any AD associate who has ever been hired here, not even AD who watches basketball. I have never contributed to this. None.

“And that’s good. I’m not the athletic director. I am not the chancellor.

“But we have a plan,” he said. “Obviously we won’t let him go, because we don’t want everyone we are recruiting against to know what we’re going to do.”

When he was pressed, Boheim allowed himself to make some contribution to the process.

“I’m not saying I won’t say anything,” he said, “but it’s not 100 percent my decision and it should be.”

Ax asked Boheim if that meant he knew when he would retire.

“Yes,” Boheim said. “We have a plan. Yes.”

Did Boheim know when or how he would announce his decision? “I do not have a word about it. It depends on the school. “

Krzyzewski announced his decision to retire last summer. This allowed him to keep his word to Duke’s recruits. This also allowed Duke to name his successor, former Duke player and current assistant John Shyer.

“Everyone mentions Mike Krzyzewski,” Boheim said. “I know 100 coaches who have retired, 99 of them have retired after the season. Mike Krzyzewski is the only coach I know who retired before the season and was a coach. This is very unusual. It worked well for Duke. Duke is a little different from Syracuse, but it works well for Duke.

“But we have a plan.”

Boheim will not say whether the plan includes the choice of his successor.

“There is a plan,” he said. “I’m just telling you there is a plan.”

Boheim said the plan has been in place for some time. That’s why I said from the beginning (of the season) that I will train next year. “

Boheim said his mission was to pass on a successful, solid-based program to Syracuse’s next head coach.

“At the end of the day, I can promise you that I am trying to leave this program in the best position it can be when I leave,” he said. “I think we can do it.”
