Los Angeles: Prayer vigil for San Francisco Giants fan #AMR medic Bryan Stow

Community plans prayer vigil for hospitalized Giants fan attacked at Dodger Stadium

LOS ANGELES - A prayer vigil is planned for a San Francisco Giants fan who was savagely beaten by two Punks wearing Los Angeles Dodgers gear after the season opener.

When: Community activists, clergy members and the family of Bryan Stow will gather Wednesday evening.
Where: Vigil outside Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center where Stow remains hospitalized in critical condition.

The vigil is organized by The Wall-Las Memorias Project, which helps Latinos with HIV and AIDS. The group is urging the public to combat violence and alcohol abuse among young adults.

A $100,000 reward is being offered for information leading to arrest of Punks that cowardly ambushed Paramedic from behind in the dark..

Police said Stow, a paramedic from Santa Cruz, was punched in the back of the head by two unidentified punks and fell to the pavement after the Dodgers' 2-1 victory over the Giants on March 31.

Police released composite sketches of the two suspects(Punks), who were wearing Dodgers clothing.

Detective Larry Burcher said investigators were confident there were many witnesses with valuable information.

The two suspects cursed and taunted three men in Giants gear as thousands of fans left the stadium after the 2-1 Dodger victory, Detective T.J. Moore said.

The Giants fans ran and two got away, but the assailants caught up to one in the parking lot, struck him on the back of the head and as he fell, he hit his head on the asphalt, Moore said.

Both attackers then kicked the victim, then ran, Moore said. They fled in a four-door sedan driven by a woman with a boy, Moore said.

How fires get their names

Every year in California thousands of wildfires start throughout the state. In most cases, the dispatch center sending the initial resources to a wildland fire will designate a name for the fire, but the first on scene engine or fire official can also name the incident. Fires are usually named for the area in which they start – a geographical location, local landmark, street, lake, mountain, peak, etc. Quickly naming the fire provides responding fire resources with an additional locater, and allows fire officials to track and prioritize incidents by name. For example during the Southern California Fire Siege of 2003, the largest wildland fire in California history, the Cedar Fire in San Diego County, was named after the Cedar Creek Falls area where it started. The destructive Old Fire, which burned during the same time period in San Bernardino County, was named after the road along which it started - Old Waterman Canyon Road.
