FBI warns terrorist groups could target Pride Month events around country
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — It’s one of the most lively celebrations in the Bay Area. Every June, our region comes alive with the sights and sounds of Pride.
“We want to celebrate that people in San Francisco live authentic lives and that we can love who we love,” said Suzanne Ford, the executive director of San Francisco Pride.
Ahead of this year’s celebrations comes a new public service announcement from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security.
In it, a warning that foreign terrorist organizations like ISIS could target Pride events around the country.

Cameron Polan works with the FBI’s branch here in San Francisco.
“The public service announcement is definitely something new this year,” Polan said.
The FBI says as of now, there are no immediate credible threats here in the Bay Area. However, they are advising people to take precautions.
Beyond the FBI’s warnings, San Francisco Pride executive director Suzanne Ford says sadly threats against Pride events are nothing new.
“Our organization for many, many years has worked with state, local, federal law enforcement agencies and other appropriate agencies to make sure our community’s safe,” Ford said.

The FBI’s PSA has also gotten the attention of groups like Equality California.
The LGBTQ nonprofit says they want everyone to be comfortable celebrating Pride this year.
“Go with a friend, let people know you’re attending Pride, have a meet up spot, have an exit plan, know a check point around the area,” says Jorge Reyes Salinas.
Because with Pride kicking off in just a few weeks time, Ford says this year’s celebrations will be better than ever before.
“We’re going to come together, there’s going to be one million people out on Market Street, and we’re going to proclaim to the world that in San Francisco Pride is our community and that we’re going to be there,” Ford said.

San Francisco 49ers sign 2 with Alabama football roots
Defensive tackle Shakel Brown and offensive tackle Chris Hubbard signed one-year contracts with the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, the NFL team announced.
Brown played at Troy and Hubbard played at UAB before reaching the NFL.
While Brown has never played in an NFL regular-season game, Hubbard entered the league as an undrafted rookie with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013 and has played in 94 regular-season and six playoff games.
Both players are coming off injuries with the Tennessee Titans.
Hubbard started nine of the Titans’ first 10 games at right tackle in 2023 before a biceps injury ended his season prematurely. Hubbard had been an unrestricted free agent since March 13.
Brown joined Tennessee as an undrafted rookie last offseason. But he suffered an ankle injury in a preseason game and spent the entire 2023 campaign on injured reserve. The Titans had released Brown last week.
To make room on their roster for Brown and Hubbard, the 49ers released defensive lineman Earnest Brown IV and offensive lineman Corey Luciano.

Man charged in connection with two dozen retail thefts at San Francisco stores
SAN FRANCISCO – A Daly City man is facing multiple felony charges in connection with more than two dozen retail thefts targeting San Francisco stores, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins’ office has charged 20-year-old Cuauhtemoc Ramirez with three counts of robbery, seven counts of organized retail theft, 23 counts of commercial burglary and 23 counts of grand theft. Ramirez also has been charged with 11 counts of vandalism, one count of attempted commercial burglary and one count of misdemeanor shoplifting.
Ramirez, who was arraigned on Monday, pleaded not guilty to all charges.
“Prolific, brazen, organized retail thieves will be vigorously prosecuted; there will be accountability and perpetrators will face consequences,” Jenkins said in a statement.
According to prosecutors, Ramirez is believed to be part of an organized group that committed at least 24 incidents between Dec. 10, 2023 and April 17. Targeted retailers include Walgreens, Safeway, ZGO Perfumery, Smart & Final, BevMo and LensCrafters.
“Mr. Ramirez and his accomplices are alleged to have stolen over $100,000 in merchandise as well as to have caused thousands of dollars in damage to store property,” the DA’s office said in a statement.
Prosecutors also accuse Ramirez of vandalizing property during multiple incidents and used the threat of force and fear to steal during three of the incidents.
As of Tuesday, Ramirez remains held without bail, following a request by the DA’s office to detain him pending trial, citing a risk to public safety.
Ramirez’s next court appearance is scheduled for June 10, where a preliminary hearing date is expected to be set and the court is expected to rule on a motion to consolidate his pending cases, prosecutors said.
