By William Dean Hinton. <br />ON MAY 10, right around 8:30pm, Jonathan Cruz dropped in on his brother at the <br />Rainbow Smoke Shop on West San Carlos Street...... About. half an hour later, Jonathan <br />left his brother, who was preparing to close the shop and head over to the Rainbow <br />owner's home for dinner that night. What happened next is still somewhat of a mystery. <br />Shortly after Jonathan departed, someone walked into the shop and killed David Cruz <br />with a single bullet wound to the back of his head, just above the left ear. No money was <br />taken. from th.e register, and the store wasn't ransacked. <br />When the owner, Suzie Andrews, was allowed back inside, a month. after the shooting, <br />everything appeared to be normal except for the bloodstain in the doorway leading to a <br />small body-piercing room. The killing was essentially the end of Andrew's shop. Aftex <br />10 years as owner, she was afraid to be in her own store. She began carrying a .38 with <br />hollow-point bullets and closed the Rainbow's doors two hours earlier than before <br />David's death.. She finally closed the business permanently on. New Year's Eve, sticking <br />the remaining bongs, handpipes, hookahs, T-shirts and pons tapes into storage, where <br />they might eventually be sold on eBay. David Cruz's killer, meanwhile, has never been <br />identified.. Police can usually determine a murder suspect within 48 hours of a shooting, <br />even if they're unable to apprehend h.im. The Cruz case is approaching the nine month <br />mark with no credi.bie theory why David was shot. <br />(Source http://equalrights4all.us/content/view/192/50/) <br />SAN LEADRO <br />San Leandro does not have any MMJ Dispensaries within their City Limits.
