Crime doesn't pay, guys. The man who was shot at Van Ness and Post a few days back? He was wanted for murder. This other guy who got hit by a car on 101 Saturday night? Wanted for bank robbery. And a guy fleeing the cops after a traffic stop? Drowned in the bay. Creepy!

New developments in the murder of Meleia Willis-Starbuck: the Berkeley police are now saying their theory of the case is that two friends of Willis-Starbuck's accidentally shot her while trying to help her break up a fight. The shooter is alleged to be one of Willis-Starbuck's friends from high school, with whom she felt so close that she called him her brother. The man driving the getaway car is another friend of Willis-Starbuck's, and has already turned himself in. There will be a memorial for Willis-Starbuck later today.

And finally, the "Bag Lady Bandit," who was that woman who's been holding up supermarket bank branches, was finally caught, when sharp-eyed workers at a tribal gambling casino recognized her. They let her play 9 hours of slots before arresting her.
