Campbell Shooting: After Heartbreak, Anger Sets In

Campbell Patch encourages the Campbell community to share its voice, opinion and thoughts through letters to the editor.

 

This story is heartbreaking and everyone is most likely exhausted from the shock and sadness of such a horrible incident. Now the anger is setting in, I know it has for us.

I've come to the conclusion it was random, and that scares the hell out of me. I just walked that intersection and thought, there couldn't be anything more cowardly than a drive-by shooting. It's pretty dark on Latimer at 10:00pm, and whomever made that drive-by couldn't see/know who they were shooting. That poor kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It's my assumption that the victim could have been anybody just out walking near the backside of the community center that night ... I don't believe that kid was targeted. It was probably some stupid gang initiation type BS, and I pray to god some surrounding video camera caught a glimpse of that car. I pray that Campbell PD can catch those coward bastards and that the family of that young man can find peace through justice ... eventually, I hope.

If you hear anything more, we'll be watching Patch.

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
