Details From The Criminal Complaint Against Malo Gomez, The Infamous "Bored Shooter"

Image from FB profile of Malo Locco Gomez, used under First Amendment Fair Comment and Criticism, blog post by John Hoff

Malo Gomez was convicted today of shooting at police because (so he said) he was bored. Since this blog is "the media," I received a copy of the press release like all the other vultures. Included with the press release was a copy of the criminal complaint, which contained some interesting details I hadn't seen before.

I love getting stuff like that in the public record, little things like the name and address of the liquor store hit by one of Malo's stray bullets.

Oh, wow. I don't even need to say "allegedly." That's so liberating...

"Bored Shooter" Malo Gomez Convicted, Here Is A Press Release All The Other Media Will Soon Regurgitate As Well, Blechhhhhhhhhh...

A jury took about four hours to convict Malo Gomez Tuesday for shooting at two Minneapolis police officers who were sitting in their squad car.

Gomez, 19, of Minneapolis, was convicted of two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will ask the judge for consecutive sentences on the attempted murder charges. Under the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines, the
presumptive sentence is 180 months for each count, so a consecutive sentence would be 30 years in prison.

The sentencing is scheduled for July 20 before Hennepin County Judge Robert Small.

Last Facebook Photos Of The "Bored Shooter" Malo D. Gomez...

Facebook photos from oh-so-public profile of accused shooter Malo D. Gomez, posted under First Amendment comment and criticism, blog post by John Hoff

Yes, I've done quite a bit of blogging about "bored shooter" Malo D. Gomez and all the information available on his oh-so-public Facebook profile. Soon I must turn my attention to other topics. But I thought, in closing, it would be great to post just a few more images that really give some insight into what kind of character we are dealing with, here, BESIDES his low tolerence for tedium.

1.) Gas mask bong photo. Comments posted with the photo confirm the gas mask was being used as a bong. Malo wasn't off to protest the environmental policies of the World Trade Organization.

2.) Takes a minute to put something on the internet. And then it's pretty much up there forever. In a photo that I am not publishing, Malo is posing on the bed with what appears to be the same young woman (fully clothed) and a female child, dressed in pink, who seems between the ages of 5 and 8.

3.) This is why decent folks in North Minneapolis don't want "blunts" being sold at convenience stores. I doubt, very much, that little cigar only contains tobacco.

"Bored Shooter" Malo Gomez Giving A Different Gang Sign Than Usual...

Photo from public Facebook profile, posted under First Amendment comment and criticism, blog post by John Hoff


In the vast majority of his Facebook pictures, "bored shooter" Malo Gomez is giving a "little bitty gun" gang sign, click here for an example.

However, pictured above, he is giving a different gang sign than usual. Note, also, the classy "ratty pink blanket for a curtain" decor.

With its oh-so-public settings, the Facebook profile of Malo Gomez is a treasure trove of insights into the social media life of a young thug. I'm sure the police are fascinated by it and have gleaned plenty already. Malo has over 1000 Facebook friends. Here is a list of a few of them, though I couldn't even get through the letter "D" before I got bored.

(Luckily, I never get so bored that I think it's a good idea to shoot at cops)

Another Rayjon Gomez Memorial Pic On The Facebook Profile Of "Bored Shooter" Malo Gomez...

Rayjon Gomez memorial picture, used under First Amendment criticism and comment, blog post by John Hoff

The exact relation between Malo D. Gomez (who shot at two North Minneapolis police because, he said, he was "bored") and Rayjon Gomez remains unknown. However, the last name is the same, there is a strong family resemblance, and some "memorial pictures" of Rayjon were found on the Facebook profile of Malo Gomez including the photo above. (Click here for another Rayjon memorial picture found on Malo's Facebook)

Was Rayjon killed as retaliation for gang activity by Malo Gomez?

The Facebook Pages Of "Bored Shooter" Malo D. Gomez, Part Five, Gang Sign And A Big Bag Of Weed...

Malo D. Gomez, who fired his pistol at two North Minneapolis police because, he claimed, he was bored...would have done better to claim he was high as a kite in post-Taliban Afghan skies. Check out this photo from his Facebook where he goes as "Malo Locco Gomez."

Kind of reminds me of "Scarface," sort of the low budget North Minneapolis version of putting your whole face in a big pile of blow.

As noted in another blog post, Malo Gomez can be seen in most of his photos doing the little hand sign thingie seen above.

At least he is wearing his Twins cap bill forward, in the manner approved of by polite, productive society.

Johnny Northside blog approves.

The Facebook Pages Of "Bored Shooter" Malo D. Gomez, Part Four...

Contributed Facebook screen shot, profile of "Malo Locco Gomez," blog post by John Hoff

Continuing with our bloggy tour through the oh-so-public Facebook pages of Malo D. Gomez, a/k/a Malo Locco Gomez, the "bored shooter" who fired his pistol at two North Minneapolis police officers just to keep himself entertained...

Here is a recent screen shot of a "jail visit pic."

The caption beneath the photo reads "free my nigga."

It is hard to tell which one is Malo, and which one is Malo's brother Dashaunta, who also goes by "Shaunta" on Facebook. It seems to me Malo is on the outside, and the other Gomez is in jail with the glass partition between them. So these clever thugs have arranged themselves to pose in a picture together without actually being able to stand next to each other. What creativity. Adapting to their environment, Darwin-style.

Did Darwin say anything about putting your Facebook settings on "private" so the police couldn't examine your whole social network while you are in jail? No, I am sure Darwin didn't address social networking sites at all.

Yes, there is a downside to Darwinism and Malo will most likely experience it after firing his pistol at those police officers just to make his day a little more exciting.

Don't even get me going on that whole "opportunity to mate" thing and how it's going to apply to Malo in prison.

The Facebook Pages Of "Bored Shooter" Malo D. Gomez, Part Three...

Public Facebook picture published under First Amendment comment, criticism and sh**, blog post by John Hoff

Malo D. Gomez, the "bored shooter" who targeted two North Minneapolis police, and whose oh-so-public Facebook profile is "Malo Locco Gomez," can't quite decide how to spell the word "Loco."

"Loco" is Spanish for "crazy." Of course, "Malo" is Spanish for "bad" or "evil," depending on which verb tense is used.

In the photo above, Malo opts for the proper spelling of "Loco," which has one "c." Johnny Northside heartily approves this rare use of standardized spelling instead of "thug spelling." There is hope for this young man, yet. Hope he will become more literate in a prison setting.

Note the finger sign Malo is doing. Malo does this pose in most of his Facebook pictures. Even when Malo is pictured with his little thuggy girlfriends, THEY are doing the same sign, like a one fingered upside down gun.

One wonders where this photo was taken, what was the occasion for Malo to get dressed up like that? The block walls and control panel in the background speak to an "institutional" setting, as does the "dressed up from the waist up" look.

Some kind of sad little juvie hearing? One wonders.

The Facebook Pages Of "Bored Shooter" Malo Dashaunta Gomez, Part One Of Many...

Facebook photo with public settings, published under First Amendment criticism and commentary, blog post by John Hoff


The "bored shooter" Malo D. Gomez, 18, who fired a pistol at some police in a squad car on the streets of North Minneapolis because, he claimed, he was trying to keep himself entertained, goes by "Malo Locco Gomez" on Facebook where his profile has (at the moment) the most public of settings.

As I suspect the Minneapolis police have already been doing, I have downloaded as much information as I can about Malo and his motley crew of contacts, including his brother Dashaunta Gomez.  I will be parcelling out that info to Johnny Northside readers when I have free time, which I don't always have in Afghanistan. So feel free to explore Malo Locco Gomez on Facebook on your own.

One interesting piece of news: Ray'Jon Gomez, a 13-year-old killed in August, appears to be related to Malo Gomez.

Due to a bit of a technical glitch that I'm experiencing, it will be necessary to publish one photo with each blog post, which is going to make for a whole lot of blog posts.

This photo, above, of Malo D. Gomez, a/k/a Malo Locco Gomez, has "S.G.C. Shit" superimposed on the photo. I suspect "SGC" stands for "Shot Gun Crip." Note hand sign.

Speculation: Was Ray'Jon shot because of Malo's gang affiliation? Does this shooting finally reveal some kind of motive in the senseless killing of 13-year-old Ray'Jon Gomez?
