SAN FRANCISCO -- A San Francisco couple whose teenage daughter was allegedly being pimped by a Southern California man tracked him around the state, failing at one attempt to kill him before shooting him to death near Candlestick Park, authorities said Wednesday.
Attorneys for the couple say they tried everything to rescue their daughter from Calvin Sneed, a 22-year-old alleged gang member from Compton (Los Angeles County), but that they didn't kill him.
Prosecutors, however, say that when Barry Gilton and his longtime girlfriend, Lupe Mercado, couldn't get their 17-year-old daughter back through legitimate means, they turned to premeditated murder.
Gilton, 38, and Mercado, 37, appeared in court Wednesday on murder and other charges for allegedly shooting Sneed in the Bayview neighborhood in the early hours of June 4. Hunt for daughter
The couple have been together since middle school and live with their three other children in San Francisco. Their daughter disappeared some time ago and after searching for her, Gilton and Mercado discovered she was turning tricks and that Sneed was her pimp, their attorneys said.
"They had gone out to local police agencies, agencies in Southern California - they had even tried talking to national organizations," said Eric Safire, Gilton's attorney. "Every place they turned to turned them away." L.A. shooting
Eventually, they found that the girl and Sneed were in North Hollywood, San Francisco police Officer David Nakasu said in the criminal complaint. On May 27, someone there fired a 9mm pistol into Sneed's car, and police believe it was either Gilton or Mercado.

Bravo! Taking out the trash.
Okay - this will be my last (sort-of-off-topic) post on the matter! And I was just wondering what my wife will think of my google searches! From the interwebs:
***************************
*****What is the 2012 Age of Consent in Michigan?
The Michigan legal Age of Consent for sexual contact is 16 years old. A total of thirty one states have set their age of consent at 16, the lowest age of consent in any state.
The MI age of consent is raised to 18 if the actor is in a position of power, such as a teacher or coach.
**** Michigan has no Close-In-Age Exemption
There are no set close-in-age exemptions or “Romeo and Juliet laws” to Michigan’s age of consent. This means that anyone who engages in sexual activity with someone under the age of consent in Michigan is liable for prosecution, including people only a few years older then their sexual partner and even two individuals who are both under the age of consent.

There may be good views of the Bay—but I wandered through there once on the way to Candlestick—it is a ghetto.
When the courts fail to do what the people need, the people take things into their own hands.
Remember, the courts are a creation of the people, not the other way around.
How long do you keep an employee around if he sits on his butt all day and doesn’t do squat?
You either fire him or do the job yourself, or both!!
Wouldn't surprise me if the media digs out the term "white Hispanic" again to describe Ms. Mercado.
From the article, I took it she was the one who ratted them out to the LEO.
Laws can never promote Vice—Vice has to be punished or discouraged through regulations—Vice destroys civil society and “Just Law” which is the basis of Rule of Law. Justice—is a Cardinal Virtue and is the basis of all civil societies.
We can never allow human beings to be used in debased, inhumane ways, such as in prostitution-—people used as a means to an end”. This Marxist ideology is incompatible in America where it is evil to use humans and sex as a commodity to be bought or sold. It would be an unjust society—dehumanizing—so the behavior should be discouraged and never promoted by laws. The laws would be unjust by their very nature.
Pimping yourself is still pimping so all prostitutes would be sentenced by boiling in oil if they didn’t hire another pimp.
LOL. Years ago, wife and had came over the Grapevine to the Bicycle Club in Bell Gardens to play poker. We were walking through the parking lot when an apparition got out of a fuzzy velvet Caddy. He was a black guy dressed in a purple outfit, his bell bottom pants had to be flared a couple feet, a purple yellow lined cape, the damdest big purple hat topped with a purple peacock feather three feet long.
We stopped dumbfounded as he strutted by with his gold topped cane held in his purple gloved hands. I actually looked around for the movie crew and Dirty Harry, but they were not in sight.
I say good for them. If I were on the jury I would applaud them.
Well spoken
Innocent!
Won't see me gripe about a happy ending.
If she was 17, doesn’t matter... if they want a conviction, they’d better load the jury with pimps, gang-bangers, and all manner of underworld-ers .
If this was Texas, they’d get a parade. Because this is a blue-State Marxist paradise, I see 30 years hard time for each.
A conservative Midwest businessman ventures into the sordid underworld of pornography in California to look for his runaway teenage daughter who is making porno films in the porno pits of Los Angeles.
Those WHITE hispanics are at it again. Dont be surprised if the nonracists community of blacks support this entrepreneur and make this a race issue. Entrepreneurial black businessman gunned down by WHITE hispanics.
