Today's San Francisco Chronicle: Killer of 4 officers wanted to avoid prison
Lovelle Mixon was convicted in 2002 of assault with a deadly weapon after an armed robbery in San Francisco, family members said. He served time in San Francisco County Jail and Corcoran State Prison. He had been released on parole in 2007, then was sent back to prison for nine months in 2008 after he had violated his parole. His attorney in the assault case, Lisa DewBerry, declined comment Sunday.His family said that while he was behind bars, Mixon married his childhood girlfriend, Amara Langston, and worked briefly as a janitor in Hayward once he got out. He was most recently released from prison in November, his family said.
Then, about three weeks ago, Mixon skipped a home visit from his parole officer, his family said. Mixon's grandmother said he had gotten angry at his parole officer because the agent had missed earlier appointments. Gordon Hinkle, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said the family's assertion that the parole agent had missed a meeting was "highly unlikely," but added that he is researching the matter. He said the department had issued a no-bail, parole revocation warrant for Mixon's arrest after he failed to appear for a meeting with his parole officer.
"We did pick him up previously, (and) he has been looked at as a suspect in other serious crimes," Hinkle said. "He was a suspect in a murder, but due to lack of evidence, on a homicide, he was charged with other violations."
Lisa Dewberry, the perp’s atty ... http://www.dewberrylaw.com/
Thanks, that is the most info I’ve seen on the perp.
Sadly, your report on this killer is exactly what I expected. I did read where his family claims he was “not a monster”. Tell that to the families, friends, fellow officers, and citizens who these men had helped in the past.
Lovelle Mixon was convicted in 2002 of assault with a deadly weapon after an armed robbery in San Francisco, family members said. He served time in San Francisco County Jail and Corcoran State Prison. He had been released on parole in 2007, then was sent back to prison for nine months of conjugal visits from the girlfriends he met while a member of his local CRIPS gang after he had violated his parole. His attorney in the assault case, Lisa DewBerry, declined comment Sunday but had previous argued that Mixon "was not threat to society!". His family said that while he was behind bars, Mixon married his childhood girlfriend, Amara Langston, also a CRIP homegirl, and worked briefly as a janitor drug dealer in Hayward once he got out. He was most recently released from prison in November, his family said.
Then, about three weeks ago, Mixon, high on crack, skipped a home visit from his parole officer, his family said. Mixon's grandmother said he had gotten angry at his parole officer because he demanded the agent had missed come to his residence for earlier appointments. Gordon Hinkle, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said the family's assertion that the parole agent had missed a meeting was "highly unlikely," but added that he is researching the matter at the cost of taxpayer dollars. He said the department had issued a no-bail, parole revocation warrant for Mixon's arrest after he failed to appear for a meeting with his parole officer.
There fixed it!
