The roommate of an unarmed trespassing suspect who was shot to death in a dark attic by two San Francisco police officers said Friday he had told the officers the man didn't have a gun.
Speaking publicly for the first time about the events leading up to the death of 25-year-old Asa Sullivan, Jason Martin said the officers who arrived to check on a trespassing report Tuesday night at a Villas Parkmerced townhouse never told him why they were there before handcuffing him on the floor.
Martin, 25, said he and Sullivan had been living in the unit as guests of the tenants for the past month. He did not realize that Officers John Keesor and Michelle Alvis were responding to a report of squatters until after Sullivan was shot, he said.
Sullivan, who was on probation for selling marijuana, retreated into a 2 1/2-foot-high space above the unit's ceiling when the officers arrived.
"They asked if he had any weapons," Martin said of the officers. "I told them no. I think she panicked. I think both of them panicked."
Keesor, 35, a six-year member of the force, and Alvis, 28, who has been with the department four years, are on paid administrative pending a review of the shooting.
According to the department, Sullivan refused the officers' commands after he climbed into the attic, saying he did not want to return to jail. When they confronted him, he pointed a "cylindrical object" at them, which the officers thought was a gun but turned out to be an eyeglasses case, authorities said.
Martin said he and Sullivan had been living in the townhouse while they made repairs so the two tenants could collect their security deposit and move out.
Tuesday night, he said, Sullivan woke him in his bedroom just before 9 p.m. to say police were at the front door.
Sullivan headed for the attic through a duct in the closet of Martin's bedroom as the officers entered the townhouse, Martin said.
"They banged on my door and said, 'SFPD,' " Martin said. "I seen guns and flashlights. They said, 'Get down on the floor.' I got down on the floor. They had guns on me."
After Alvis handcuffed him, a grate covering the duct to the attic fell down in the closet, catching the officers' attention, Martin said. He said that Keesor had trouble getting into the attic and that Alvis had climbed up into it first.
"At first, when they got up there, they couldn't find him," Martin said. "Then the female officer screamed they found him. I guess he was in a corner, but he wasn't coming down. He was telling them to stay away from him."
Martin said he had heard Alvis yell that Sullivan was "laying down between the wood" frame of the attic and underneath some insulation.
Then four to five gunshots rang out above Martin as he lay handcuffed on the floor.
"It was like, 'Boom, boom, boom, boom,' " he said. After that, Martin added, "I didn't hear Asa say anything."
Police originally reported that Sullivan had fired on officers through the attic floor and that his gun had been found at the scene. They later said neither was the case. Investigators now think Keesor fired first, grazing his partner's ear and prompting her to shoot as well.
Chief Heather Fong said Wednesday that Keesor had fired when Sullivan pointed the cylindrical object at the officers, his arms outstretched.
A police official said Friday that investigators had interviewed Martin, recorded his account of the shooting and didn't believe it contradicted what the officers said had happened.
Asked whether Sullivan appeared intoxicated before the shooting, Martin said, "He was 100 percent sober." Martin said he had later seen Alvis crying and being comforted by another officer outside the townhouse.
Martin said Sullivan had told him in recent days he was worried about possibly being reincarcerated for a probation violation. And while he didn't specifically remember hearing it, he believes Sullivan did tell the officers he didn't want to go back to jail.
"He probably did say that, because I knew he didn't want to go back," Martin said. "But I know he didn't want to die."
Sullivan leaves behind a 5-year-old son, also named Asa. Relatives have started the Asa B. Sullivan Memorial Fund at Wells Fargo Bank to cover funeral expenses and are talking with Oakland attorney John Burris about a possible lawsuit against the city.
His mother, Kathleen Espinosa, said Friday that police had pursued her son without trying first to assure him that he wouldn't be harmed.
"These people are out of control," she said. "They're not about safety anymore. Makes no sense to crawl after somebody in the dark

‘I live here; please don’t kill me’
Demanding justice for SFPD murder victim Asa Sullivan, supporters rally in front of his home
by mesha Monge-Irizarry, Idriss Stelley Foundation
Asa Sullivan with his son
Media trucks were already at the rendezvous at 3 p.m. Saturday in front of the Villas Parkmerced Apartments on Holloway and 19th Avenue. Shivering through the foggy, windy Ingleside District afternoon across the street from San Francisco State University in No Man’s Land – no one on the streets or at their windows – folks arrived for a rally and protest with colorful signs reading, “No Police Accountability” and “Justice 4 Asa Sullivan.”
We were congregating to pay respect to Brother Asa’s family – one extended family member was present – and express our rage and sorrow about yet another innocent, unarmed Black man brutally slaughtered by San Francisco Police Department. Asa was repeatedly shot on Tuesday, June 6, in a dark, cramped 2 1/2-foot-high attic crawl space while, police claim, he held an eyeglass case that they say they honestly thought was a gun.
A modest crowd of 40 responded to the outcry and impromptu request for support from the four groups that spearheaded the protest: Justice 4 Cammerin Boyd, led by Cammerin’s mother, Marylon Boyd; Justice 4 Gus Rugley, led by Gus’ mother, Elvira Pollard; Police Observers Working to Effect Reform (POWER), led by Patrisha Tulloch; and the Idriss Stelley Foundation, led by Idriss’ mother, mesha Monge-Irizarry.

Also among the protesters were Denise D’Anne of the Juvenile Defender; Don Cane and Bill Croasley, Vanguard workers; Dr. E. Kamin of the 2003 Police Reform Task Force; Gloria LaRiva of SF ANSWER and a Chronicle unionist; Krissy Keefer, candidate for Congress; Kathy Perry and Ace Washington of the Western Edition newspaper and the African American Community Police Relations Board, Western Addition and Southeast Sector Branches; PamPam Gaddies of the Peacemakers; Bob Livingstone and Gail Meadows, drummers; and Tami Bryant, unionist.
The unanimous message was loud and clear: Each speaker who stepped to the microphones of Channels 2, 5, 7, 11 and 29 demanded true police reform, urging District Attorney Kamala Harris to immediately investigate all police murders for the past 11 years and demanding that Chief Heather Fong stop protecting rogue and racist cops.
“Another unarmed young Black man shot dead by SFPD – is there any excuse for more of this madness?” asked Patrisha Tulloch.
Asa Sullivan, age 25, is SFPD murder victim number 17 over the past 11 years. Like all of the eight other young Black victims of cop murder, Asa was shot while unarmed.

The cops had no lawful reason for going to the townhouse where Asa lived. He had not broken any laws when the cops unloaded on his young body. In fact, no one at the home had broken any laws either.
The cops claim that they got a report that Asa and others in the apartment were squatting there. The manager of the 3,200-unit Parkmerced complex said that all occupants were legally in the house – no one was squatting there – and denied the complex had a problem with squatters.
Asa’s mother, Kathleen Espinosa of Van Nuys, told the Chronicle, “It was not a justified shooting. There was no weapon, so it was not justified.” Asa had been working for Goodwill Industries in San Francisco, she said, and was the father of a 5-year-old son.
“He didn’t want to go back to jail,’’ she said. “I know his personality. He would be one to hide. He was scared.’’ Police had initially arrested his roommate, while Asa sought refuge in the attic.
Police kept a close eye on the rally Saturday.

“Police originally said that Sullivan was armed and had fired through the ceiling, narrowly missing one officer, and that two other officers then opened fire into the ceiling,” the Chronicle reported, adding that this was “a version of events that police did not officially correct for more than 16 hours.”
As some of the corporate press began to leave the rally, we started marching around the complex, headed by Marylon Boyd, chanting, “Justice for Asa Sullivan.” As we came to the townhouse where Asa had lived, a middle aged white woman stepped out of her house. “I just want you to know some of us are with you,” she said. “Keep fighting for justice. Asa should be alive!” She quickly stepped back inside, seemingly afraid to join us.
Police said neighbors reported possible squatters in the townhouse where they murdered Asa Sullivan, but the Villas Parkmerced manager said Asa and his roommate were there legally.

Inside each street level window, signs were posted reading, “I live here; please don’t kill me!” By the front door, two candles on the asphalt were engraved with the hastily hand printed words: “RIP – We love you, Asa.” Marylon Boyd quietly knelt down to add signs in support of Asa’s family and demands for justice by the candles.
Three teenage girls who live in the neighborhood joined the protest. The corporate press, not surprisingly, refused to interview them. One of the young girls approached a cop standing nearby. “Officer, isn’t it illegal to shoot an unarmed man?” she asked.
“No,” he responded. “It’s called suicide.” Now beware, good citizens of San Fran-psycho: Holding an eyeglass case in front of a police officer while Black is “suicide by KKKop.” Little did young Brother Asa know. He paid with his life.
Two African American police officers parked close by were soon joined by a plain clothes officer, who quickly got on her cell phone, surely calling for backup to disperse us. She never let me shoot her picture, but kept turning her back, a short, stocky white female. “Don’t worry, we’re leaving,” I thought, “but we’ll be back.” Grieving parents of police murder victims united will never be defeated!
From left, mesha Monge-Irizarry, Krissy Keefer, Denise D'Anne and Marylon Boyd at the rally, which was covered by all the local TV stations.
How long are we going to stand for SFPD serving and protecting only the rich? How many of our poor, Black and Brown babies will continue being innocent targets of police man hunts and managed mayhem? Prop H – Police Commission reform – has failed us miserably. A disgusted Theresa Sparks resigned from her position as vice president of the commission.
Let us forever remember our San Francisco slaughtered angels, executed by the thugs in blue in the past 11 years: Aaron Williams, Cammerin Boyd, Craig Holden, Gus Rugley, Gregory Hooper, Idriss Stelley, Jihad Akbar, Johnny D. Williams, Kathleen Eklund, Marcus Garcia, Richard Tims, Sheila Detoy and so many more. No more stolen lives! SFPD: Do the crime, do the time!
As Krissy Keefer gaves me a ride back to Idriss Safe Heaven in Bayview, I wondered whether all our babies murdered by the police met yet on the other side? Are they watching our backs while we fight the formidable KKKilling Machine, whose paid assassins enjoy total impunity as they are laterally switched to administrative duties or rewarded by promotion after each cold blooded execution of our children?
PamPam Gaddies drummed as Kathy Perry and an activist brother from Visitacion Valley listened.

Officer Isaac Espinoza, allegedly killed by David Hill in 2004, is treated as a national hero. Our unsung heroes’ souls are still hollering for justice. Each time a young Brother or Sister is murdered by the police, we, the mothers and fathers, children and friends, relive those horrific seconds when we heard the incredible news: “Died at the scene,” “Suicide by cop,” “High speed chase ends in casualty,” “We thought he/she had a gun,” “The investigation is still open; we can’t say anything,” “We had to protect our lives, the community” ad nauseam.
June 13 is the dreaded fifth anniversary of the murder of my only child, Idriss Stelley, by SFPD. God help us all. We are parents transcending the horror and grief, extending our love and fighting spirit to the stricken family and child of Brother Asa Sullivan. You will not be forgotten!

Two Sullivans down – Brian in ‘93, Asa in ‘06 – killed by SFPD
Both innocent, unarmed – Brian chased up a ladder, Asa into an attic crawl space
by mesha Monge-Irizarry, Idriss Stelley Foundation,
Asa’s sister, Tisha, and two of his homies
Once more, we gathered at 9 p.m. by Asa Sullivan’s house in the Villas Parkmerced apartment complex neighboring San Francisco State University last Saturday in the ever so cold and windy Ingleside District, at Asa’s candlelight vigil, to celebrate his life and pay respects to his family. Brother Asa, 25, an innocent, unarmed African American youth, was gunned down by SFPD on June 7 in a 2 _-foot attic crawl space as he held an eyeglass case that the department claims was mistaken for a gun.
To my shock and horror, I listened to yet one more terrifying account from a young vigil participant: Brian Sullivan, 22, was shot by SFPD in 1993 while climbing a ladder. As the bullet entered his back, the “peace officers” gave themselves a high-five, giggled and cheered in front of his grandmother, according to Brian’s young brother at the vigil. Though Brian and Asa were not biologically related, their families lived in the same hood, and some of the youngsters referred to each other as “cousins.”
Brian was killed by Officer William Wohler, so notorious for using excessive force that the case was profiled by Human Rights Watch: “On July 15, 1993, Brian Sullivan was shot and killed by Officer William Wohler at Sullivan’s parents’ home in the Excelsior District.” Wohler initially gave chase as Brian was riding home on his bicycle and first shot at him through the closed garage door.
Asa's cousins, Dawn and Autumn
“He then followed Sullivan to a side yard, and as Sullivan started up a ladder to the roof, unarmed, Wohler reportedly fired twice; one bullet entered Sullivan’s buttocks and traveled to his heart, killing him. Although Wohler later stated he had never entered the side yard, his bullet casing was found near where a neighbor said she saw him stand and shoot up at Sullivan.
“The investigation by homicide detectives was seriously botched, and Wohler was allowed to remain at the crime scene as investigators collected evidence. … When Wohler was confronted with his own conflicting testimony, he told a homicide investigator, ‘You know, I’m not stupid. I’ve been around long enough to know the way it works. And I mean, if I’m gonna leave a casing behind, I will cover myself, you know. I’m gonna say, “Hey, the guy made a furtive move” or “Yeah, my gun accidentally discharged.” I mean, you know.”
“... The city paid $295,000 in an out-of-court settlement, one of the largest in the city’s history in a police abuse case. Wohler, who reportedly had been the subject of 14 citizen complaints of misconduct during the five-year period preceding the Sullivan shooting, was not disciplined for his actions and was back on duty by January 1995. He retired with benefits in July 1996, days before a scheduled OCC hearing about the incident. …
Asa's brothers, Kahlil and Sangh
“After the Sullivan case, and the press attention it generated, the department changed its procedures for reviewing shootings, giving the Office of Citizen Complaints (OCC) and the Police Commission a larger role in the process.” The full report is at www.hrw.org/reports98/police/uspo131.htm.
It is almost unbearable to realize the tragic and infuriating injustice of two innocent, unarmed young men – Brian, 22, Asa, 25 – gunned down inexcusably by the same police department. In both cases, cops pursued them relentlessly until they were trapped and totally vulnerable – Asa in a crawl space and Brian up a ladder – then aimed at and executed them without mercy.
In Brian’s case, the cop predator, Officer William Wohler, was one of the worst in SFPD history. We have yet to learn the history of the two cop predators who murdered Asa: Officer Michelle Alvis, 28, and Officer John Keesor, 35, who respectively have been with the department for three and four years.
In both cases, the cops made up bizarre lies to try to explain what happened – Asa was said to have shot at the police … with an eyeglass case? … later said to have assumed a shooting stance ... in a 2 _-foot crawl space? – then had to recant them when even SFPD couldn’t make the lies fit the evidence.

Three days prior to Asa’s candlelight vigil, I went to pay my respects to his family at the wake at Duggan’s Funeral Parlor on 17th and Albion Street in the Mission District. Cringing, I approached the casket to take a final look at Asa and was shocked. “Good Lord,” I thought, “they made him look like a White boy.” His face was heavily pasted with whitish makeup. I later learned that it was used to hide the extensive reconstruction of his facial structure. He’d been shot four times in the face; one bullet had entered through an eye, another through his skull, his braids glued together with dry blood.
Mournfully staring at Asa, I sobbed, flashing at the horrifying similarities between Asa’s and my only child Idriss Stelley’s cases: Both were killed by SFPD and had an interracial heritage, the anniversary dates of their assassinations seven days apart. Both were alleged to have committed “suicide by cop.” Both were shot in the head, the corporate press minimized the number of bullets pumped into them, and their lives were stolen in their early 20s. Both were demonized and depicted as criminals by SFPD and the corporate press, and, in both cases, the gang in blue shot so many times that a bullet ricocheted and wounded a “peace officer.” A bullet from Idriss’ firing squad ricocheted and ended up in a KKKop’s ass. Asa had shown a campaign poster of Idriss to his mom, Kathy Espinosa.
A crowd of approximately 50 people, mostly young people of color, quietly lit their candles and gathered around Asa’s brothers Kahlil, who led the vigil, and Sangh Sullivan, his mother, Kathy Espinosa, and her husband, Nelson Espinosa, his sister Tisha, his friend Shorty, who had stood in the Metreon during Idriss’ PD assassination, and Asa’s cousins, sisters Dawn and Autumn. Dr. Ahimsa Sumchai, Bay View health and environmental science editor, unionist Tami Bryant, and a Vanguard organizer and journalist were also at the mournful rendezvous. No corporate press this time, no political candidates, no city officials.
Tisha sang a moving rendition of “Amazing Grace.” But the youth were angry, shouting, “Enough is enough!” and speaking about the rowdy, funny, loving personality of Brother Asa.
At 11:05 p.m., two police cars pulled up across the street, and officers conferred with the manager of King Security, the private firm that contracts with SFPD to cover the Villas Parkmerced. A cousin of Asa, Sister Dawn, approached them to report to Officer Chow inappropriate, rude and intimidating conduct by a King Security employee toward Asa’s family, and Chow assured us that it will be investigated by the security manager, who was livid.
Chow also told us that the vigil organizing committee did coordinate with SFPD in preparation for the vigil, and he clearly saw that we were organized, peaceful and not in violation of the law. Chow recognized me from African American Community Police Relations Board meetings and remained cautious and civil. We dispersed, since it was past curfew, to avoid the wrath of King Security.
Asa’s cousin Autumn, a social work graduate from SF State University, and her friend Maria drove me back to Idriss Safe Haven in Bayview and related the extent of Asa’s family’s shock and their determination to get justice.
Sgt. De Lacy Davis, founder and national president of Black Cops against Police Brutality, presented his condolences to the family. He had flown from New Jersey for one day to speak at Juneteenth, and he called me from the airport during the vigil to deliver his message to Asa’s folks. Then he flew back to New Jersey on his way to Bermuda, where he is heading a three-month National Community Policing training.
Please remember to come in full force to the Police Commission meeting on Wednesday, 5:30 p.m., in City Hall, Room 400, and make public comments about yet another shooting of a young, unarmed Black man by the SF Blue Mob, the second hit on the Sullivan family! And join us prior to the meeting, at 5:00, for a brief rally on the City Hall steps.
Both innocent, unarmed – Brian chased up a ladder, Asa into an attic crawl space
by mesha Monge-Irizarry, Idriss Stelley Foundation,
Asa’s sister, Tisha, and two of his homies
Once more, we gathered at 9 p.m. by Asa Sullivan’s house in the Villas Parkmerced apartment complex neighboring San Francisco State University last Saturday in the ever so cold and windy Ingleside District, at Asa’s candlelight vigil, to celebrate his life and pay respects to his family. Brother Asa, 25, an innocent, unarmed African American youth, was gunned down by SFPD on June 7 in a 2 _-foot attic crawl space as he held an eyeglass case that the department claims was mistaken for a gun.
To my shock and horror, I listened to yet one more terrifying account from a young vigil participant: Brian Sullivan, 22, was shot by SFPD in 1993 while climbing a ladder. As the bullet entered his back, the “peace officers” gave themselves a high-five, giggled and cheered in front of his grandmother, according to Brian’s young brother at the vigil. Though Brian and Asa were not biologically related, their families lived in the same hood, and some of the youngsters referred to each other as “cousins.”
Brian was killed by Officer William Wohler, so notorious for using excessive force that the case was profiled by Human Rights Watch: “On July 15, 1993, Brian Sullivan was shot and killed by Officer William Wohler at Sullivan’s parents’ home in the Excelsior District.” Wohler initially gave chase as Brian was riding home on his bicycle and first shot at him through the closed garage door.
Asa's cousins, Dawn and Autumn
“He then followed Sullivan to a side yard, and as Sullivan started up a ladder to the roof, unarmed, Wohler reportedly fired twice; one bullet entered Sullivan’s buttocks and traveled to his heart, killing him. Although Wohler later stated he had never entered the side yard, his bullet casing was found near where a neighbor said she saw him stand and shoot up at Sullivan.
“The investigation by homicide detectives was seriously botched, and Wohler was allowed to remain at the crime scene as investigators collected evidence. … When Wohler was confronted with his own conflicting testimony, he told a homicide investigator, ‘You know, I’m not stupid. I’ve been around long enough to know the way it works. And I mean, if I’m gonna leave a casing behind, I will cover myself, you know. I’m gonna say, “Hey, the guy made a furtive move” or “Yeah, my gun accidentally discharged.” I mean, you know.”
“... The city paid $295,000 in an out-of-court settlement, one of the largest in the city’s history in a police abuse case. Wohler, who reportedly had been the subject of 14 citizen complaints of misconduct during the five-year period preceding the Sullivan shooting, was not disciplined for his actions and was back on duty by January 1995. He retired with benefits in July 1996, days before a scheduled OCC hearing about the incident. …

police are BITCHES. thats why they become cops in the first place, so they can feel like they have some power over people they feared they whole life, most of the time they never delt with some real shit before in their LIFE, so when they feel somethin might cause them harm (like a fuckin sunglass case) they panic and just start shooting, not thinkin about shit.
RIP to the homie
RIP to the homie
Once again, San Francisco police have killed an unarmed man who appeared to be no threat to anyone — and once again, the department is putting out a story that truly strains credibility.
The way Police Chief Heather Fong has described it to the press, two officers responded to a report on June 6 that a door had been left open at a Villas Parkmerced apartment, and they entered the place looking for squatters. It turns out that the unit was occupied, and the tenant was apparently there legally, but the cops didn't know that at the time, so he was quickly cuffed and arrested. The tenant had a guest named Asa B. Sullivan, who happened to be on probation for selling pot, and when Sullivan saw the cops coming, he ran upstairs and hid in the attic.
Here's where it gets really hinky. The cops initially told reporters that Sullivan fired shots at the officers through the attic floor, but that wasn't true: In fact, the guy was unarmed, and he simply told the officers that he wouldn't come out because he didn't want to go back to jail.
It seems as if there could have been a simple, rational response: The officers could have called for help and waited. Instead, they crawled into the two-and-a-half-foot-high attic.
At some point, Sullivan raised what Fong described later as a "cylindrical object" (it was a glasses case) and "assumed a shooting position" (hard to imagine how that would be possible in a very low and cramped attic). The first cop opened fire and, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's report, grazed his partner with a bullet; she then assumed she was under attack and started firing too. Sullivan was pronounced dead at the scene.
The department will do its own shooting inquiry (in secret), and the Office of Citizen Complaints will almost certainly wind up investigating. But those inquiries take time, and often the cops are reluctant to cooperate. The Police Commission ought to be asking a few questions of its own — now, in public.
Who was in charge here? Did the officers call for backup or speak to a supervisor before pursuing someone who clearly wasn't going to escape (he was stuck in an attic) and using lethal force? Why did they need to get into the attic in the first place? Why not call in someone used to handling these sorts of tricky negotiations (or at least a supervisor), since there was apparently no rush, no danger to anyone, and no need to even consider lethal force?
What sort of training applies in these situations, and was it followed? Why were the initial reports so inaccurate — and why did the department put the information out without checking it?
Meanwhile, it took three days for the department even to name the officers involved. And because so much of the San Francisco Police Department's disciplinary information is secret, it's hard to know if these are officers with clean records who made what seems to have been a bad decision — or if they have a history of improper conduct.
Of course, ordinary citizens get no such protection: Anytime anyone is arrested, the police immediately release his or her name, and the press is free to report it. Why do cops — who are, after all, carrying guns and ought to be subject to additional scrutiny — get special treatment?
The powerful San Francisco Police Officers Association wants everything about police discipline to be kept absolutely secret — but the SFPOA's representatives had no problem recently attacking, by name, in public, a lawyer for the city's police oversight agency, and demanding an investigation of her conduct.
David Campos, a member of the Police Commission, told us he thinks this is a real problem. "Given everything that's happened to this police department, we need to be as transparent as possible," he said. Campos promised to bring the matter up at the commission; the other members of that panel need to establish a clear policy and direct the chief to follow it: Tell the public the truth — the whole truth, including names — when incidents like this happen.
