Locals disagree with Crow's Nest Beach Party shutdown

It’s been almost three weeks since the Aug. 8 double shooting after a beach party at the Santa Cruz Harbor’s Crow’s Nest restaurant rattled the community. The two victims were shot multiple times and remain in critical condition, and police have not disclosed a motive behind the brazen attack. But authorities say they are closing in on a suspect and an arrest is imminent.

In the aftermath, the Santa Cruz Port District, which patrols the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor where the Crow’s Nest is located, announced it was canceling the remaining beach parties. 

But despite the shocking end to a normally joyous summer night, many residents and revelers are defiant in the wake of the shooting and say that it shouldn’t ruin the spirit of community here.

Just before 9pm on Aug. 8, law enforcement agencies responded en masse to reports of a shooting at the Santa Cruz Harbor. Police scanners reported two males shot, with one suffering up to six gunshots to the chest. 

Witnesses said after a brief altercation in the Crow’s Nest parking lot, a Black male in his early 20s opened fire on two men and fled the scene in a black Dodge Charger or Challenger. The suspect was wearing a red puffy jacket and was accompanied by a Black female of indeterminate age, they said.

Emergency dispatchers also relayed reports of an armed person near the Murray Street Bridge by  the upper harbor, but that was never corroborated.

Santa Cruz Police, Santa Cruz Sheriff’s deputies and Watsonville Police secured the scene while the two victims were medevaced to out-of-county trauma centers.

A witness, who asked not to be identified, recalled hearing what sounded like loud pops.

“I heard what I thought were fireworks,” she said. “They were too loud.”

 She said she was walking about five feet behind the victim through an alleyway and the crosswalk leading to the parking lot when the suspect pulled out a gun and fired.

Investigators said that other witnesses described an altercation between the men shortly before the shooting. Santa Cruz Police took the lead on the investigation. But nearly three weeks later, there are more questions than answers about that night, and police are saying little beyond a press release the following day.

Santa Cruz Police Deputy Chief Jon Bush said on  Aug. 27 that investigators were still scouring hours of video surveillance footage from the scene and working to get witnesses to cooperate with the investigation.

A person who said they witnessed the shooting on the night of Aug. 8 told Good Times on condition of anonymity that someone they were with wrote down a full or partial license plate and handed it over to Harbor Patrol. The witness went on to say that when Santa Cruz Police investigators contacted them for a follow-up interview, they were unaware of the license plate information. 

“We did get a possible plate. We’re still trying to confirm its the right vehicle,” Bush said.

When asked if there was a possible delay in the hand off of that information, Bush said he was unaware of that specific claim.

Port Director Holland Maclaurie, who oversees the Harbor Patrol, did not respond to multiple requests for comment on the situation.

Authorities have not released the identities of the victims, but a GoFundMe fundraising page created for the medical expenses of Santa Cruz resident Gregory Hagio identifies him as one of the shooting victims.

“Gregory along with a fellow friend was a target of a random act of violence. Six shots and eleven holes later Greg is now in the ICU battling for his life from his traumatic injuries,” read a statement posted by fundraiser organizer Shannon Stidham.

The page has raised $18,332 of its $25,000 goal as of Aug. 26, and an update on the page posted on Aug. 17 said he is still in critical condition after a third surgery.

In the wake of the unexpected violence, some local residents and attendees — including one that performed that night — think canceling the remaining events has sent the wrong message.

‘Don’t Give In To Violence’

Don Caruth had just finished playing the beach party with his band, The Joint Chiefs, when he saw the shooting in the parking lot.

“I’m still processing it, because it happened 6 feet from me. I saw the whole thing — I was loading stuff in my van, it was after the show, and then I was standing with my son and his girlfriend […] I heard this ‘pop, pop, pop, pop.’ I thought it was firecrackers or fireworks,” said Caruth.

He and his family ducked behind his van and saw the shooter as he ran away, while others rushed to help the victims. The incident left him shaken and he was unable to sleep that night. But in spite of this, Caruth thinks the show should have gone on.

“I don’t think you should give in to the violence and take the music and the joy away from the community of Santa Cruz,” he said. He added that this was an extremely rare incident and wasn’t afraid of it happening again.

The performers who were booked for the remainder of the summer were also affected, losing income they were counting on as working musicians, according to Caruth. Local favorites Sambada and The Dylan Rose band were set to round out the last two August dates of the beach parties.

A Facebook post from Aug. 14 which argued that “a few messed up people should not have so much power over our community gatherings” got hundreds of likes and supportive comments.

Trudie Ransom, the owner of the Sup Shack on the Santa Cruz Harbor, was at home in Capitola when the shooting occurred. When she returned to work the next day, she was shocked by the news.   

Ransom expressed disgust at the shooter’s behavior while also encouraging people not to let this incident change how we live as a community. 

“I’m a believer in business as usual,” she said. 

Ransom isn’t alone when it comes to this train of thought. Jose Calderon, a retired mason, also thinks the shooting shouldn’t change how the harbor community functions.  

“I don’t see a reason why it should be shut down because of a couple of crazy people,” Calderon said. “It was just one of those incidents. It’s a shame it happened, but I do not believe it should be closed down.”

The Crow’s Nest owner Charles Maier did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Other recurring live music events in the area have not been canceled in response to the shooting. For example, the Twilight Concert series at the Capitola Village Esplanade has continued to hold Wednesday night performances that draw hundreds of people.

Capitola Police Captain Sarah Ryan said that there had been no serious concerns voiced by residents after the Crow’s Nest shooting and security protocols for the concerts remained the same.

However, Ryan did sympathize with the management and staff of the restaurant.

“They have to take care of their people,” Ryan said.

As of Aug. 27, Santa Cruz Police said they are close to cracking the case.

“We’ve got some leads that we’re tracking down. We hope to make an arrest in the coming days, but right now we’re still working the case,” Bush said.

Ruby Lee Schembari contributed to this report.

Media guidelines (explicit or not):

— When Blacks shoot Whites (by far more frequent than the reverse), race will be ignored or trivialized, — the motive will either be a “mystery” or “random” — NEVER “racism” or “hatred,” — and the ultimate blame will be ascribed to White racism (“institutional,” “systemic,” etc.).

Please don’t bring race into the equation. A google search for Gregory Hagio will yield plenty of results for Criminality going back to 2011. There were people of all races enjoying the Joint Chiefs performance that night. You are just a racist.

A city on central California’s coast

Come out and play in Santa Cruz County on California's Central Coast! The quintessential California playground for all ages. Well known for surfers, 29 miles of beaches, roller coasters and a chronically cool attitude -- you'll also find 13 California State Parks, wineries, a steam driven train through the redwoods, and enough arts and events to feed any creative yearning. Located along one of the world's most famous coastal byways, California's Highway 1, you'll want to include the community Sunset Magazine recently named "Best Beach Town in Northern California" in your next vacation.

One of the last great California beach towns, Santa Cruz has all the right elements -- sun, sand, and surf -- plus an attitude that says, "Hang loose." And the Boardwalk, a roller coaster and amusement park right on the seaside, is everyone's favorite playground.

Venture onto Pacific Avenue to find a smart new downtown, one of our newest "in" spots, with galleries, sidewalk cafes, theaters and boutiques. Up on "the hill," the University of California Santa Cruz campus offers outstanding art, music and theater performances, as well as one of the best views in Santa Cruz. And at the Santa Cruz Wharf and Harbor, you'll find kayaks, fishing charters and sailing boats all waiting to take you out on the water for close-up views of our newest source of pride, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

In Santa Cruz, it seems like every day's a celebration. From First Night, where the whole community gathers downtown to celebrate the new year, to the Harbor's Lighted Boat Parade in December, there's always something going on. Celebrate Santa Cruz - Art, Wine and Jazz isn't just a festival, it's a way of life. Come see for yourself!

Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary

The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary was established in 1992 to preserve and protect the Monterey Bay and adjoining ocean waters of the central California coast. It encompasses 5,322 square miles and is the largest marine sanctuary in the United States, larger even than Yosemite or Yellowstone National Parks.

Within the protected resources of the Sanctuary lies the Monterey Bay submarine canyon, one of North America's largest underwater canyons. The rich upwellings from this underwater canyon support a lush kelp forest and an abundance of marine life: migrating whales, delicate jellyfish, playful sea otters and serene pelicans.

• Go kayaking in the ocean or through Elkhorn Slough;
• Watch for whales from a fishing boat or off the coast at Davenport;
• Explore tidepools at Natural Bridges State Beach;
• Visit dolphins and a touch tank of sea creatures at UCSC's Long Marine Lab;
• See the sea lions basking at the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf;
• Sail the bay at sunset;
• Take a self-guided tour at the Santa Cruz Harbor;
• Visit the elephant seals at Año Nuevo State Reserve.

Getting to Downtown Santa Cruz

Downtown Santa Cruz is located on the north coast of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary.

From the North (San Jose Area) - Follow the signs on Highway 17 and take Highway 1 north to Half Moon Bay. At your first intersection, make a left on River Street. Follow the signs that point downtown. As soon as you reach the intersection of River and North Pacific, you've reached the border of the Downtown. Parking may be found by traveling straight on River or turning right and following Pacific Ave. Follow the signs!

From the North Coast ( from Half Moon Bay) - When Highway 1 enters Santa Cruz, it becomes Mission Street. Follow Mission Street for several blocks. Follow the directional signs or keep going straight on Mission Street (You'll recognize Downtown by the Clock Tower on the left hand side).

From the South (Monterey area) - Take Highway 1 north, staying in the left hand lane as you approach the Highway 17 turn off. Stay on Highway 1 as it loops around like a fishhook. Continue on Highway 1 north. At your first intersection, make a left on River Street. Follow the signs that point Downtown. As soon as you arrive on Pacific Avenue, parking structures may be found by turning right on Locust Street or Church Street.

In Santa Cruz County you'll encounter an abundance of activities, adventures and getaways suited for just about everyone. Whether you want to spend your days hiking one of hundreds of mountain trails, or taking to the Pacific and exploring the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, you'll find there's never quite enough time to do it all.

Santa Cruz County is an outdoor adventurer's paradise. Bike up the Pacific Coast Highway, go rollerblading along West Cliff Drive, or play a round of golf as you look out over the Pacific Ocean. We also have one of America's largest indoor climbing gyms at Pacific Edge and NASCAR stock-car racing at the Watsonville Speedway. Go have some fun!

Want to find out what the weather's like in Santa Cruz? Check out current views of the sky and sea from our Santa Cruz Harbor, live video camera. You can also check the local weather at National Weather Service/Monterey Bay.

Is it a good day to hit the waves? Check out five live views of the surf at Steamer Lane or Cowell's Cove at Hotline's Surflive Video Cam web page or Call the Santa Cruz City Beach Lifeguards at (831) 429-3460 for the current weather and surf report. They report daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and on weekends in the spring and fall.

We have 29 miles of sunny beaches waiting for you!

Giant redwoods. Creekside trails. Rolling meadows and cascading waterfalls. Santa Cruz County has more state parks than any other county in California. From the redwood forests of Big Basin to the coastal bluffs of Wilder Ranch, from the marshes and shore birds of Elkhorn Slough to the 87-acre lake of Loch Lomond--there's plenty of room to hike, pitch a tent, or just go exploring!

Everyone deserves to be pampered at one time or another. Whether your idea of self-appreciation is relaxing into a steaming hot tub or having someone wait on you hand and foot, you'll find your day of escape in the coastal spas of Santa Cruz County.

Santa Cruz County is home to the Pajaro Valley, one of the richest agricultural areas in California. For the freshest and most organic goods, you can find a farmer's market in just about every community all year round.

As the gateway to the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary, Santa Cruz County has all sorts of ways to get you out on the water. Sail into the sunset, charter a fishing excursion, or rent a kayak and paddle through the inlets of Elkhorn Slough. In winter you can watch for whales, and in the summertime you can learn to surf!

The Santa Cruz Mountains, with their combination of California sun, coastal fogs and mountain terrain have been a premium wine-growing region since the late 1800's. Small, family-owned wineries are abundant here, producing a variety of fine handcrafted (and award-winning!) wines. Many offer free wine tastings and have beautiful views - a perfect spot for a picnic. For more information on the history of Santa Cruz Mountains winegrowers or annual wine-tasting events, you can visit the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association.

For epicurian encounters of the best kind, Santa Cruz County offers a culinary trip through more than 500 restaurants from gourmet to casual "down home" -- including asian, brew pubs, cafes, Californian, coffeehouses, continental, delicatessens, Italian, Mexican, seafood and vegetarian.

Some say it's because there's a magnetic vortex here. Some say it's because this area was settled by the kinds of people who broke conventional rules and wanted to determine their own fates. Whatever the reason, one thing is undeniable -- Santa Cruz County has a more enviable collection of artists, performers and craftspeople than almost anyplace on the planet.

The fact is, creativity finds a comfortable home within our borders. At the drop of a chisel, we'll find a reason to hold an art festival or a crafts fair or a studio tour or a combination of art, wine, music and the great outdoors. We definitely are a population that appreciates artistic talent.
