Thursday Must Read: Nava Family Opposes Curfew and Gang Injunction; Embattled Oakland Schools Police Chief Retires

Stories you shouldn’t miss:

1. Relatives of 3-year-old Carlos Nava, who was gunned down last week in East Oakland, criticized a renewed call by some city councilmembers to institute a curfew for teens and to expand gang injunctions, the Trib reports. The proposal by Councilmen Ignacio De La Fuente and Larry Reid came in response to Nava’s tragic death. But relatives of the boy noted yesterday that a curfew for teens would not have prevented his murder because the suspects are in their twenties. The relatives also advocated for more resources for education and social programs. De La Fuente and Reid have failed in previous efforts to institute a citywide curfew and expand gang injunctions.
