P. v. Thompson CA6
In the early morning hours of June 27, 2015, Marvin Jackson, Jr. and his younger half-brother, William Maynard, went to La Victoria Taqueria in downtown San Jose at the end of a night out. Accompanying the brothers were Jackson’s girlfriend and two friends, Jordan Hayes and Theodore Syddall. As the group left the restaurant around 2:12 a.m., Maynard got into an argument with someone on the restaurant’s front steps. Maynard was drunk. Another person joined in the argument. When the argument continued into an alleyway, the group arguing with Maynard grew to six or seven people. Jackson got involved and tried to break it up. “ ‘Crip’ ” and “ ‘Blood’ ” were mentioned more than once.
Someone from the other group lifted his shirt and flashed a gun at Maynard. The person with the gun said something like, “ ‘You don’t want these problems. Come around the corner,’ ” or, “ ‘Back up before you get blasted.’ ”
