Dragged man clings to life, 3 suspects sought in S.F. hit-and-run
some maney shit that went down in frisco this weekend...
A San Francisco man who was beaten up, run over by a car and dragged for three blocks through the city's South of Market neighborhood lost his left arm, broke his right leg and suffered such extensive bruises and gashes that doctors do not expect him to survive, family members said. Tesfamariam Sebhatu, a 22-year-old native of Eritrea, remained in critical condition Monday at San Francisco General Hospital as police released the names of two of the three suspects who they say sped away in a tricked-out Lexus after the incident Sunday. The search for the suspects continued as new, gruesome details emerged about Sebhatu's ordeal, which started just after 4 a.m. in an alley outside the 1015 Folsom dance club and ended with several people chasing the Lexus as it dragged Sebhatu, leaving a trail of blood and torn clothing for several blocks. "This case looks like attempted murder -- that's what charges we will be seeking," said police Inspector Laurel Hall. "This is much more than just a hit-and-run. There was a reckless, senseless attempt on a young man's life." The three men knew they were dragging Sebhatu, and even stopped momentarily to try to pull him free from under the car, witnesses have told police. But when they were unsuccessful, they kept driving, until Sebhatu fell into the Seventh Street on-ramp to southbound Highway 101. "I hope they find them -- it's very painful to the family," said Gebre Tekle, Sebhatu's 52-year-old uncle. Hall said police are seeking the alleged driver, George "Junior" Delapaz, 33; passenger Carlton Willis, 33; and a second unidentified passenger described as a Latino male in his late 20s, 5-foot-10 and heavy-set, with black hair and a torn black T-shirt. "We expect to have an arrest within a few days," Hall said. Sebhatu, who immigrated to the United States 14 years ago and moved to San Francisco in 1993, lives on Golden Gate Avenue with his mother, younger brother and older sister, and helps support his family by working in a liquor store, his sister said. "He's right on the edge," his sister, Timnit Sebhatu, 25, said. "He's having trouble breathing. We don't know if he'll make it. It's in God's hands." Witnesses have described a shocking crime that apparently started after the suspects became angry when a car driven by Sebhatu's friend wasn't moving fast enough in a congested area outside the night club. "I've seen some bad things -- I was a cop for 16 years -- but this is the most horrible thing I've seen in my life," said the club manager and bouncer, Dave Helm, a 43-year-old retired Hayward police officer who witnessed the incident. It had been a typical night at 1015 Folsom, where a Saturday dance party called "Release" has been one of the most popular club events in San Francisco for years. Before 4 a.m., three men had tried to get into the club as VIPs -- avoiding a $30 cover charge -- but were turned away by Helm. About 20 minutes later, Helm said, a fellow employee put out a help call over the radio to other employees, saying a fight had broken out on Harriet Street, an alley alongside the club. The club employees found two groups of three men fighting each other in front of a tricked-out black Lexus. Car headlights lit up the alley. "This big Hispanic guy cold-cocks the victim" -- hitting Sebhatu in the face, dropping him to the ground -- "and we ran up and started yelling, 'Stop, stop, stop!' " Helm said. Helm said Sebhatu, while on the ground, was then kicked twice in the face by the man, who then hopped into the passenger seat of the Lexus, with another man driving and the third also a passenger. Sebhatu was lying helpless in the alley, about 15 feet in front of the car, Helm said. With its rear tires spinning and burning out, the car drove forward and pinned Sebhatu under the right front tire, Helm said, then dragged him halfway down the alley toward Harrison Street. "He didn't have to hit him; there was room to go around him," Helm said. When the car stopped for a moment, one club employee tried to break the driver's side window, and he and Helm pulled the door open and tried to pull the driver out. "He spins the tires and off he goes," Helm said. The car turned right on Harrison. Moving 15 to 20 mph, the Lexus was able to put about 200 yards between itself and its screaming pursuers by the time it approached the next intersection, Seventh Street. The men tried to drive in reverse for a moment, then all three jumped out, Helm said. "They're pulling him by the legs" -- trying to free Sebhatu along the right side of the car. But they couldn't free him. "So (they) jump back in and take off up the southbound on-ramp (to Highway 101)." Sebhatu was dislodged right as the Lexus sped onto the freeway. by Demian Bulwa, Jim Herron Zamora, Chronicle Staff Writers Tuesday, June 24, 2003

At my elementary school, when i was in 5th grade, this girl was car pooling with another family.... they drove a mini van with a sliding door. Anyway, she got out of the van, and shut the door.... her coat got stuck in the door and the van sped off, dragging her about 50 feet. Then, i guess the driver must have felt something so she backed up..... over the girls head. Shit popped like a canteloupe........ It was fucking aweful. Like 40 kids were standing outside (it was before school) including myself.
Sorry, not that it's really the same scenario, just people being dragged by cars reminded me of this...........

man....1015 used to be a really good house club in like 96'.
the whole ibiza club gear craze forced the management to comodify, and start selling the club as some kind euro trance dj extravaganza. it used to be a beautiful venue, with cool bouncers, great music (mostly local house dj's, some from so. cal) and a chill crowd. now it's plastic tube tops, trance, rayon shirts (or that micro fiber shit murs rappped about) and coke, as in yay. good luck to dude.

my dad used to be a bouncer back in the day and they threw this dude out for being all belligerent and shit. the dude walked right into the street, got hit by a camaro and drug for 1000 feet! (the camaro was hauling ass) then my dad and some other dudes ran up on the car when it stoped and they pulled what was left of this poor guy out from underneath the car. my dad said they could barley make out where his head, feet, arms etc were. he was all tore up like that and he was still alive!! he was moaning for help and shit.....that story always fucked with my head.

Ojay revilO that scene is just messed up. some people are so wrong. i was just reading a story sorta like that that happened a while back, a lady was drunk driving and hit a bum, who was stuck n the grill of the car, she parked the car in the garage, he was moaning, and she took off, leaving him there to die. the next day her and a couple friends dumped his body, she got caught just recently because she was talking about it at a party. that is such a sick way to die or be injured, being dragged by a car until parts of your body fall off, damn.

I used to be a gore lovin mofo... then last spring I had to take my old girl to the ER on some fucked up shit and I haven't been the same since. Can't handle gore, get super fucking anxious whenever there are hospital scenes on TV... I had to turn away from Klitschko's cut the other night where in years past I would've been stoked off it. I can only imagine how seeing a head pop would fuck up a little kid. Yo a few years ago I heard the owner of 1015 Folsom was under serious heat for all the drugs up in there. I guess same dude ran Maritime, and when I went to ITF there in 99 they passed out flyers saying don't even try to smoke weed. There were a few other spots dude ran that were being watched, but 1015 was the main one. Maybe that's why they charge $30  to get in there... dude has to make up for his lost slangin profits.
