Police sought the public's help Saturday in the shooting death of a teenage man in Watsonville.

An 18-year-old man -- his name was withheld pending notification of kin -- was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting, in the 200 block of Second Street.

The shooting was reported shortly before 9 p.m. Friday; he was shot several times, police said.

@sweetcakes: unless you are a Career SES member, Administrative Law Judge or member of the Board ofRead More Contract Appeals, the Hatch Act doesn't really apply to you. PAS & Non-PAS employees are free to do whatever they wish during non-work hours. If you don't care to use your real name, that's totally up to you though.

@Sylvia: I absolutely disagree that Measure T is a separate issue. If you or anyone here attended orRead More watched Tuesday's City Council meeting, Daniel Dodge (along with Felipe Hernandez) brought it up during the discussion about the city budget. They both said that passing Measure T would bring more revenue into the city - which is a lie - and future cuts to public safety wouldn't happen. It most certainly is not a separate issue.

I used my yes on T flier to line the birdcage. It pissed my parrot off so much, he bit me!

We got one too sweetcakes (some caring person actually tucked it into my door handle so it wouldn'tRead More blow away) even though I have a "No on T" sign in my yard. The "Yes on T" is all lies anyway so it went right into my recycle bin. Perhaps it was just coincidence but they came while we were at the City Council meeting last night. Go figure.
