It was just after 6:30pm when Efren Rosas heard a crackling sound coming from behind him.

He was dozing off on the couch; the television was on. There was no one else home at the time. His brother, Galdino Rosas, had gone out to see a movie with the rest of the family.

But Efren had stayed behind, wanting to relax.

When the crackling sound got his attention, Efren turned to see a wave of growing flames moving toward him.

He quickly got himself up and pulled himself into his wheelchair. Then he wheeled himself out the front door of the house, the growing fire right at his back.

As Efren is disabled, with only one leg, making it out of the home alive was no easy feat. But he made it out in time. Just barely.

“The house is on fire,” Efren told his brother Galdino over the phone, once he was outside and safe.

Galdino rushed back home to find his brother out in front of the house. The fire department arrived a few minutes later. Read more…

Hillview Court Apartment residents demand help amidst increasing concerns for safety

Rhoda Shapiro –May 26, 2023

When John Tuitasi’s car was broken into, he had no desire to call the police.

The car had been in the parking lot of the Hillview Court Apartments, located at 1000 Hillview Court in Milpitas.

But when somebody else at the property found out what had happened to Tuitasi’s car, they decided to reach out to police on their own. Later that night, the police went up to Tuitasi’s door and asked him questions about the break-in.

“The next day, somebody threw a rock through my window,” said Tuitasi. “So what good did it do to call the police?”

Since that day, Tuitasi has been harassed and has received numerous threats from the individual who broke into his car.

This is a common occurrence at the Hillview Court Apartments, where many fear repercussions for reporting incidents to the police…

Chick-fil-A creates Controversy in Milpitas because of anti-LGBTQ stance

Chick-fil-A opening in Milpitas on June 16

By Rhoda Shapiro, June 13, 2022

This Thursday, June 16, Chick-fil-A will be opening in Milpitas. Located in the Town Center at 755 E Calaveras Blvd, the new restaurant will be operating Monday-Saturday from 6:30am-10pm.

Chick-fil-A’s Owner Is Bankrolling Hate Groups Targeting Trans Kids

“They’re doing hardcore, extreme stuff, but they make it seem like it’s a bunch of soup kitchens.

Nearly a decade after Chick-fil-A was called out for donating to anti-LGBTQ+ groups, its owner is still funding efforts to discriminate against the community.

According to a new report from The Daily Beast, an organization called the National Christian Charitable Foundation (NCF) is bankrolling many of the groups hoping to kill the Equality Act. If signed into law, the landmark legislation would mandate equal protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in all walks of life, including health care, housing, education, and public accommodations.

The Daily Beast report sparked online backlash, with watchdog organization Citizens for Ethics tweeting: “FYI: the billionaire owner of Chick-fil-A, which promised to stop donating to anti-LGBT causes last year, is participating in a dark money operation fighting to keep the Equality Act from passing.”

Mayor Tran announces that vehicles parked behind library will be towed on March 12

By Eric Shapiro, MilpitasBeat, March 11, 2022

Earlier this week, on Mayor Rich Tran’s Facebook page, the Mayor posted that the “abandoned, inoperable, and unregistered” vehicles parked behind Milpitas Library were being given notice by the Milpitas Police Department (MPD) to move or risk being towed in another 72 hours.

The Mayor’s post and plans come in the midst of an active discussion on homelessness in Milpitas, during which the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley advised the City of Milpitas that its planned sweeps of homeless encampments were unconstitutional and the City’s homelessness task force provided recommendations to the Milpitas City Council. Last week, Councilmember Karina Dominguez headed up a sleep-out outside of Milpitas City Hall to draw attention to the plight of the city’s homeless residents.

In an email exchange with The Beat, when asked what the City would do to help the unhoused residents whose cars will be towed, Assistant City Manager Ashwini Kantak wrote, “The issues that cause homelessness are complex. The City’s role is to balance the rights of those who are homeless with the need to ensure proper safety, hygiene, and impact on the entire community – and strictly enforce City laws.

Milpitas man charged with murder after woman’s body found buried in his yard

Neighbors told officers they heard a woman screaming early Saturday but did not notify police.

MILPITAS – A Milpitas man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the death of a woman who was found buried in his yard Wednesday, police said.

Micah James Dovlet, 34, was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail in San Jose on Wednesday and remains in custody, Milpitas police Capt. John Torrez. said in a news release.

Prosecutors said in a criminal complaint that Dovlet was charged with murder, the victim was “particularly vulnerable” and the way the killing was carried out “indicates planning, sophistication or professionalism.”

On Monday, officers went to Tuyet Anh Phan’s home on the 1500 block of North Milpitas Boulevard to do a welfare check because the 59-year-old had not been heard from in several days, Torrez said. They didn’t find her or anything suspicious at the residence.

Neighbors told them they had heard a woman screaming in the area early Saturday. “This information was not reported to the police department at the time,” Torrez said.

On Tuesday, officers found evidence of a crime of violence involving the victim near her residence, Torrez said. Detectives went to the scene and took over the investigation.

Dovlet, who lived near Phan, was detained during the investigation, Torrez said.

Torrez said detectives served a search warrant at Dovlet’s home and collected evidence of a possible homicide, but they didn’t find the victim.

Torrez said detectives returned to Dovlet’s home Wednesday and exhumed the victim’s body from the yard. … Read More in Mercury News or in The Milpitas Beat.

Officer did not quack under pressure!

Officer did not quack under pressure!
June 28, 2021. Milpitas Police Department: Lets start off the week with some tails from this past weekend….On Saturday morning, a community member gave us a call about a pair of ducklings wandering around on their own on S. Abel St. and Corning Av. Officer Pham and his FTO found the duo who appeared to have lost their way. Our friends at Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley (WCSV) were called and picked up the ducklings to care for them before their eventual release back into the wild. Duckling catching was definitely not an Academy topic, but Officer Pham didn’t quack under the pressure of a new challenge and was able to wing it to help the duo. Have a great week Milpitas!

On May 11, 2021, at approximately 9:21 A.M., a 13-year old female was walking through Murphy Park near Grand Teton Drive when the suspect walked up behind her and inappropriately touched her over her clothing.

Extra patrols are being conducted in and around the area of Murphy Park. The suspect remains at large and this remains an active investigation. The police department is asking residents in the area to check their residential camera systems for images of any person matching the suspect’s description.
