Alvarado told us that his last arrest for a gun did not involve him. Alvarado stated, ³The last time I got <br />busted for a gun, I had nothing to do with nothing.´Alvarado reiterated that he was not going to say <br />anything. Alvarado said, ³I just wanna live my life, man. That¶s all I wanna do. That¶s all I wanna do. I just <br />wanna live my life.´ <br />Alvarado said that he had been chilling on the street ³close by´to his aunt¶s residence. He was somewhat <br />close to ³Occidental´when he saw the police. The police officers were on ³Cedar´when he observed them. <br />They were coming from the direction of ³St. Andrews.´Alvarado then stated, ³I was on Cedar. I didn¶t see <br />no cops.´Within the alley, there was a ³big white truck.´The green Camry drove down the alley and the <br />white truck was ³blocking it.´Alvarado ³barely just got there´into the alley when he observed the big white <br />truck blocking the green Camry. Alvarado stated, ³I wasn¶t in the alley kicking it. I was at the address where <br />my aunt lives.´ <br />Alvarado said that as he came into the alley near Occidental Street he observed the truck blocking the <br />Camry. The Camry was driving ³down´the alley toward Edinger Avenue away from him. As the Camry <br />drove past him, the occupants of the vehicle yelled, ³Fuck hypes.´Alvarado then saw the police in a ³gang <br />unit car.´The gang unit car was ³black and white.´Alvarado did not know how many officers were inside of <br />the car. He only saw the gang unit car which was at Occidental Street. Alvarado stated, ³I think <br />Occidental.´Alvarado did not hear the officers in the car say anything or get out of their car. He simply saw <br />the car and began running. He stated, ³Well I was just like running.´He ran ³towards Cedar.´He did not <br />remember how he ended up in the alley near Evergreen Street. <br />Alvarado said he heard gunshots before he saw the police car. The shots were close to him but he did not <br />know how many shots he heard. The shots were in front of him. He stated, ³Like, like in front of me.´He <br />believed he was being shot at. He first stated that he began running because of the gunshots he heard and <br />not because he saw the police. He then stated that he was running because of the gunshots and because <br />he saw the police. <br />Alvarado said he did not know why someone would try to shoot him. Alvarado heard gunshots while he was <br />running but he did not know how many shots were fired or where the shots were originating from. Alvarado <br />did not hear anyone yell anything at him as he ran. <br />Alvarado acknowledged that he had been arrested for gun possession a week before despite being <br />³nowhere close´to where the gun was located. Alvarado did not know if officers from the ³gang detail´were <br />the officers who arrested him last week. Alvarado did not remember who arrested him. <br />Alvarado said that he did not recognize the officer in the police car as the officer who arrested him. <br />Alvarado acknowledged that he carried knives for protection. Alvarado denied having a gun because he <br />³can¶t even afford a gun.´ <br />Alvarado said he did not know if ³Fuck hypes´was a statement of disrespect to the Delhi gang. Alvarado <br />said the disrespect name for Delhi was ³hippies.´Alvarado said, ³Hippie could be a guy that does heroin, ya <br />know.´Alvarado ³didn¶t know´if the persons who yelled ³Fuck hypes´were yelling at him. <br />Alvarado said he was ³in the alley´and the officer was ³close´to him when he first observed him. The <br />officer was on foot because ³there¶s no cop car.´Alvarado ran because of the ³green Camry´and the officer <br />who was close to him. Alvarado ran toward ³Cedar.´Alvarado did not know if the officer chased him. <br />Alvarado did not hear the officer tell him to stop. He heard gunshots, however, and then fell down. He did <br />not know how he ended up near Evergreen Street. He denied having a gun in his hand as he ran. The gun <br />lying next to him must have been there because of ³bad luck.´He had experienced ³bad luck´previously <br />when he was arrested. He said, ³Last time I got tooken in for some bull shit.´ <br />Alvarado reiterated that he was attempting to obtain drugs last night. He stated, ³I was trying to get heroin.´ <br />He continued, ³I ran. I was getting shot at.´Alvarado did not know who was shooting at him.
