Day Around the Bay Suspect in Custody After Brutal Unprovoked Easter Sunday Attack in Castro

Berkeley Police shot Ricardo Gonzalez Ruiz after he allegedly threatened them with a firearm during a domestic violence incident on April 13. Ruiz, known for previously harassing protesters at a Tesla event, remains hospitalized following the confrontation. In a separate incident, 34-year-old Andrew Davais faces multiple charges, including assault, for a brutal unprovoked attack on a man in the Castro district on Easter Sunday. District Supervisor Rafael Mandelman confirmed Davais has an extensive criminal record, raising concerns over public safety. Meanwhile, the Peninsula Open Space Trust announced the acquisition of the San Gregorio Ranch, a nude beach in San Mateo County, for $10 million.

This purchase aims to prevent future development and protect the natural habitat along the coastline, which is crucial for local wildlife. The trust’s efforts reflect a growing commitment to environmental conservation in the region. The incidents highlight both challenges and successes in local law enforcement and community preservation efforts.
