California: Death Penalty will not be sought after for the fatal shooting of a German Tourist
Prosecutors said Thursday they will not seek the death penalty against six people charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a German tourist near San Francisco’s Union Square last year.
A total of seven suspects were arrested last month and an eighth is still being sought in connection with the death of Mechthild Schroer, a 50-year-old woman from Minden, Germany, on Aug. 8, 2010, in the 400 block of Mason Street. Phillip Stewart, 19, Marcus Blueford, 19, Delvon Scott, 20, Willie Eason, 19, and Raheem Jackson, 17, were charged with murder, while Gethsamine Pita, 18, and a juvenile were charged with being an accessory to murder, prosecutors said.
