Parents Accused Of Tracking Down Teen Daughter’s Pimp Then Killing Him

June 15, 2012 at 11:15 am by Morbid

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Police say a couple took the law into their own hands when they allegedly tracked down their 17-year-old daughter’s pimp and then shot him to death.

Barry Gilton and Lupe Mercado say their daughter was lured away from home by a Compton gang member, 22-year-old Calvin Sneed, who then became her pimp. They say they tried talking to their daughter, tried getting police involved, and even placed her name in missing and exploited children registries, but were unable to get their daughter out from under Sneed’s influence.

But some of their problems were solved in the early morning hours of June 4 when Sneed was murdered–shot in the head while driving in an area close to the couple’s home near San Francisco’s Candlestick Park. The shooter was in a silver Mercedes-Benz SUV, according to prosecutors, and they say that shooter was Gilton.

In fact, they don’t believe this was the couple’s first attempt to take Sneed’s life. On the night of May 27, along Vineland Avenue in North Hollywood, an unknown shooter walked up to Sneed as he sat in his car and fired nine shots. Sneed was injured by shattered glass, but refused to cooperate with the resulting police investigation.

Both Gilton and Mercado, who have three other children together, have each been charged with one count of murder, one count of discharging a firearm into an occupied motor vehicle and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. They are each being held on $2-million bail with an arraignment scheduled for June 20.

Prosecutors say they have substantial evidence to back their accusations, including the fact that Gilton was in a silver Mercedes SUV at the time of the shooting and that Mercado had called him four minutes before Sneed was shot to death. Dist. Atty. George Gascon said that he understands the couple’s frustration “but taking the law into your own hands is not an acceptable solution.”

Eric Safire, the lawyer representing Gilton, says that his client did not murder Sneed and never planned to do so. He states Sneed was more than likely a victim of his own activities. According to Safire, at the time Sneed was shot to death, he was “out doing his business in a foreign gang area. We do know that he was involved in gang activity and that he was up here on his own. It’s not unlikely that he would be exposed to violence.”

That seems odd that ‘nothing was done’. Age of consent in Cali is 18 and the girl was 17.

“Both Gilton and Mercado, who have three other children together, have each been charged with one count of murder.”
Great (sarcasm), now those three other children won’t have a mother or a father to take care of them. What a shame for everyone involved. I understand their frustration but this really wasn’t the best plan.
OutOfBubbleGum

Spent gun residue in Gilton Mercedes-Benz SUV and a caliber bullet that is the same size to the missing registered gun to Gilton will probably make the case.

Please, please let there be a silver Mercedes-Benz SUV highway chase. And, hopefully, the police will find under-sized gloves in the alley and Kato Kaelin sleeping on their couch.

You’re right – according to this:

Maybe these parents weighed the risk and thought this would be worth it.
I personally would have tried other avenues, but I guess to each their own.
Either way I doubt this guy is a huge loss to the world..And I wonder if their daughter is still tricking after all that her parents just did?

It’s funny how you can ask for justice and the officials charged with delivering justice are nowhere to be found. Take matters into your own hands, however, and they’re all over you like a cheap suit.

Sounds like they did try other avenues.I’m not sure I wouldn’t contemplate the same thing if it were one of my kids.
LuvsHorror

I’m just not feeling real sorry for the guy.
http://truecrimereport.com iLLusionS

Yeah it would depend on a wide set of circumstances…But now that they have done the deed, will probably be taken away from the other kids still at home, all to “save” the daughter, I would really like to know if she is still tricking?
Wolf_of_Mars

The only crime they’re guilty of is embarrassing the cops & DA’s office. If the LEO’s want another black eye, then here it is. You can’t tell me that the gang task force & the vice cops didn’t know who she was & where that kid was. Maybe the parents should sue the LEO & DA’s Office for ongoing malpractice. Also, if you don’t want to leave behind GSR, use a crossbow. If noise isn’t a factor, use a chainsaw…

I think this probably has a drug addiction element to it.

Wow. I hate this state.
To anyone who wonders, we do not go after statutory rapists and/or pimps too hard here. Plain and simple. They’re just too busy drawing up legislation to try to get longer terms and pay raises.
I agree with @JohnQknowitall:disqus, though. Their attorney seems competent enough. It will also be really difficult to find a jury that sympathizes with a gang member/pimp. I know I wouldn’t.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

I agree … but I’m kinda torn on this one … the girl was almost grown – in Texas she would have been considered an adult.
Steph[anie]

As a resident of this wonderful state *eyeroll* I can attest to the fact that this would not be a high priority for law enforcement.
Since she was 17 and he was 22, it would be an even lower priority.

LeaveMeBe

When I’m shooting my big mouth off here on the DD, I act like I’m all up for vigilante justice but I’m really not. However, I’m having a hard time trying to find it within myself to condemn these parents if they did this. What people need to understand is you can throw the laws around (age of consent, harboring, prostitution, etc…) but unless you have LE that gives a shit and a County Attorney’s office that will put a boot in their ass if they don’t, then the laws mean squat. I know this because some of the situations I deal with on a daily basis, including human trafficking and prostitution of children. If this girl kept leaving home, there could conceivably come a point in time where LE could choose not to retrieve her and return her to her guardians. Shocking, I know, but it’s the law. As a parent, what do you do then? Possibly what Gilton and Mercado are being accused of doing.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

Well to play Devils advocate here – we don’t know if these parents really were parents;maybe the girl is just a bad seed,or maybe the parents sucked at being parents – the coin toss could land either way.

Noble intentions, unfortunately their plan was ill conceived. There were more avenues they could have attempted before coming to this solution. They let their frustration cloud their judgement.
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
Athena

Having watched several documentaries on the matter, I sympathize a great deal with these parents. I don’t approve of the route they took (we see where it’s gotten them and their other children), but I can definitely identify with the feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and seething rage these parents must have been feeling.

We don’t allocate NEARLY enough resources to deal with the staggering number of cases like this. This is human trafficking, plain and simple. The girl is off-limits until she’s 18. This kind of manipulation and abuse should be associated with severe penalties, but it’s not, really.

Unfortunately, California has a mandatory minimum sentence of 25-life for first-degree murder (and not much better for second-degree, either). Still, I’m hoping for some sort of mitigation.

I hope their attorney brings up that they tried a legal course of action with no results form the police department before killing this stupid, arrogant skin merchant gangster piece of shit. I say good riddance to bad rbbish. Were it ~MY~ daughter some prick was pimpin’, and I wasn’t getting results from the cops (Whom my taxes pay to begin with), I’d do far worse than shoot the fucker. I’d make his death long and torturous.
UniqueMommy1984

Seems like they exhausted every other plan they could before they took this measure and no one did anything. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. Especially when it comes to your kids.
http://www.facebook.com/rafterq Us Haggans

“but taking the law into your own hands is not an acceptable solution.”…bullshit!
LeaveMeBe

All of that could be true but I still don’t see how it would change what I said. I never said she was a good kid caught up in a bad situation and I never said they were parentss of the year. I don’t care if she is a bad seed and her parents didn’t give a shit until she got involved in prostitution. It doesn’t change the fact that the truth is sometimes LE and the CA don’t do their jobs or they do them but then throw up their hands and count it as a lost cause. So yeah, everyone could suck and this guy got shot, but I would still have a hard time condemning these parents if they did it because they were trying to save their daughter and had been rebuffed by the only other means of help and enforcement.
Califboy

The parents should receive counseling instead of being punished.
EveryVillainIsLemons

They’re too busy chasing non-violent drug offenders and speeders to worry about sexually exploited children.
http://www.dreamindemon.com Morbid

And how, exactly, did this work out for them? Looking out for your kids means to continue the legal course — however ineffective that may be — so that you are looking out for all of your kids.
http://www.dreamindemon.com Morbid

This isn’t a feel good story at all.
LeaveMeBe

Not true! You’re not a legal adult in the state of Texas until you’re 18. At 17 you are still a minor and under a guardian’s care and control. At 17 you cannot get married, enter into a contract of any kind, join the military, enroll or disenroll yourself from school, etc… If you commit a crime @ the age of 17 you are punished as an adult, but it doesn’t make you an adult. I explain this crap at least a dozen times a day. And it irks me when the misinformation gets spread around, even to freaking law enforcement who I then have to argue with and steer in the right direction.
supreme321

Agreed.
takurospirit

I know nothing about law or trials, but I think all they have to do is create doubt it was the girl’s parents. Him being an active gang member, pimp, and apparently in “enemy territory” should pretty much plant the doubt. Plus, who wouldn’t want a gang member that’s pimping out underaged girls dead anyway? Hopefully they get out of this without imprisonment.
scud420

so the pimp was driving a toyota camary when he was shot… finally, I can take my kids to daycare in a car that’s got some serious street cred.
scud420

agreed, the parents are going to spend more time in jail than the pimp would have, with no way at all to protect their daughter from the next pimp that their daughter will run to.
Conley

Justitce served!! More of this will keep predators at bay. I don’t think people like Sneed fear the judicial system so kudos to the parents for getting it done.
If people like him got it in their head that this “little girl’s” parents may kill me if I don’t leave her alone it could deter aot of this non-sense.
It may not be the right option but its becoming the only option.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

Actually what I stated is in fact true.At 17 a person in Texas is considered by “criminal” law to be a legal adult – this includes sex,as well as the ability to leave home without parents,or police being able to force a return.Along with this age (the flip side of the coin) comes the right for 17 year olds to be locked up in the big boy state jail if they choose to commit big boy crimes.There is however a legal gray area in Texas law that pertains to 17 year olds … although a parent does not have the right to force a person 17 to return home,the parent can still be held legally responsible for things like property damage the teen does until the teen turns 18.

When you go off spouting all these different things like the military,marriage,and school – which are all legal contracts,by the way – you confuse the issue. Since I was a cop for 5 years and did pay attention in class,and did constantly read my books I was – and still am up on most Texas law. What you state about contracts is true – A 17 year old can’t sign off on contracts – while yes,an 18 year old can.The thing is LeaveMeBe – contracts are mostly covered under civil law,unless someone commits a violation of criminal law involving one;the two are separate issues,and are usually delt with in separate court systems.

Like I already stated at 17 a teen can willingly choose to leave home in Texas,that is the law here.At 17 a teen can choose to have intercourse – that is also the law in Texas.Drinking alcohol – which at one point was legal at 18 is by federal mandate 21 everywhere (U.S,),now.You make a mistake when you attempt to mix criminal law with civil law.
scud420

except that they’re not right all the time… and sometimes they’re just on meth
Conley

I can only imagine what the parents went through. I have a child but no matter how much anyone says they understand, unless they’ve gone thru it, nobody understands, we can literally only imagine. I would’nt have killed him to save my daughter, she’s already gone and Sneed dying won’t make her change her ways, I would’ve killed him to hopefully save any other children from that sort of abuse.
http://www.dreamindemon.com Morbid

Yeah, because Lord knows a gang member never fears being shot on a daily basis for matters much more trivial than this.
http://www.dreamindemon.com Morbid

At the expense of your other three children who depend on you? What these parents did, if they are truly guilty as charged, was stupid. As a parent, there is no way I would jeopardize my freedom or my other children’s well-being to save someone else’s 17-year-old from a pimp.
Athena

You’re on a roll, today, brotha man.
Athena

It’s not better anywhere else, I can assure you.
As far as the trial goes, it depends on the jury. There is such a thing as jury nullification – they know the defendant is guilty, but they don’t give a shit, instead, voting to acquit, thus nullifying the charges. However, this is fairly uncommon.
I think it will come down to two main things: If the girl is able and willing to testify that she was being forced or manipulated and the extent to which these parents pursued other avenues.
I wish them luck.
sherrdbw

Now, why was this a crime again? 2 million dollars? Is the DA kidding? Actual criminals usually get far less bail than this. And for you self-righteous people out there, I will say that people shouldn’t be vigilantes and should just let the justice system do it’s job. Oh, the parents tried to get help from the justice system regarding their minor daughter and nothing was done? Well, I know that I will sleep better tonight knowing that these evil parents are in jail and aren’t out killing innocent drug dealers and child sex traffickers. The thought of them at home protecting their other children scares the hell out of me! Well at least CA has the death penalty.
LeaveMeBe

Alright, I see why there is confusion, so let me clarify. It is my current job to know these things and I explained it in laymans terms. But since that didn’t suffice, here you go.
In article 51.02(2) of the Family Code a child is defined as follows:

(2) “Child” means a person who is:
(A) ten years of age or older and under 17 years of age; or
(B) seventeen years of age or older and under 18 years of age who is alleged or found to have engaged in delinquent conduct or conduct indicating a need for supervision as a result of acts committed before becoming 17 years of age.

If you commit a crime within that age range you would be under the jurisdiction of family/juvenile court. Once you reach 17 years of age you would be under the regular/penal court system.

However, under other statutes in the Penal Code you are a child until you reach the age of 18.
Chapter 25 has several statutes which cover this. Examples are:

Sec. 25.04. ENTICING A CHILD.
(a) A person commits an offense if, with the intent to interfere with the lawful custody of a child younger than 18 years, he knowingly entices, persuades, or takes the child from the custody of the parent or guardian or person standing in the stead of the parent or guardian of such child.

Sec. 25.06. HARBORING RUNAWAY CHILD. (a) A person commits an offense if he knowingly harbors a child and he is criminally negligent about whether the child:
(1) is younger than 18 years; and
(2) has escaped from the custody of a peace officer, a probation officer, the Texas Youth Council, or a detention facility for children, or is voluntarily absent from the child’s home without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian for a substantial length of time or without the intent to return.

Note that under 18 is a child under these statutes, even though a 17 year old is an adult in the criminal justice system.

Sexual Assault (22.011) would be sex with anyone under 17 years old.
Sec. 22.011. SEXUAL ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person:
(1) intentionally or knowingly:
(2) intentionally or knowingly:
(A) causes the penetration of the anus or sexual organ of a child by any means;

A child is defined in subsection (C)(1)
(c) In this section:
(1) “Child” means a person younger than 17 years of age who is not the spouse of the actor.

So depending on what type of situation you are asking about, a child is under 17 years old or under 18 years old.

Parents can still have a child reported as a runaway up to 17 years old, if the child is not legally emancipated by the court, but a 17 year old will go to jail/prison for a crime, instead of juvenile detention.

Texas Family Code, Chapter 51:

Texas Penal Code, chapter 22:
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Do…
So, I say again, if she kept leaving, the police can return her to her parents although they are not required to as they are with a 16 year old. She was still a minor child and there were multiple charges LE could have brought against her pimp.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

This is the correct information you have posted – if I wanted to draw it out I could have, and considered pointing out that a large number of these teens have never committed any crime before turning 17 and leaving home – the same may be true for this Calif.girl – maybe she has never been charged and found guilty of an actual crime,other than leaving home.Unless the teen has a legal history there is no guardian necessary in Texas.Texas Penal Code,and Texas Family Law collide with the a fore mentioned “gray”area – family law states a child as under 18,Criminal law states a child as under 17.

Anyways, you know I love you LeaveMeBe ,so party on.

sherrdbw

Yes, technically they are criminals. Considering that the girl’s parents have done everything they could to get their daughter out of a criminal situation, and received no help from law enforcement, what solution would you propose to them? And don’t say you don’t know. What would you do if you were in the same situation? What if it were your child? What would you do?
Athena

Keep trying to convince HER to leave. What no one seems to consider, here, is that, with the daughter acclimated to this lifestyle and the parents in prison, she is very likely to simply find another pimp and keep on doing what she’s doing… and there’s no one to save her, now.
http://www.dreamindemon.com Morbid

And exactly how do you know these parents did everything? Because I typed that after reading that from a news article? We don’t even know if Sneed actually was forcing their daughter to do anything at all.

But I’ll answer your last question, even though I wasn’t asked. I don’t know what I would do if I were in their shoes. Maybe I would have went to the press, maybe I would have leaned on the police more, hell I don’t know. But I do know what I wouldn’t do. I wouldn’t commit a premeditated, cold-blooded murder sealing my fate, my wife’s fate and the fate of my remaining children who will now be raised by someone else…and in the end, in the case of my 17-year-old who voluntarily stayed with the man I murdered, have changed absolutely nothing at all.

The police did NOTHING. And if given absolutely NO police cooperation, I would have done EXACTLY what these 2 parents did. The legal way only works for cops and rarely to benefit the victims, Can you say “Kelly Thomas”? In the criminal justice system there is only justice for “just us”. Unless the perp walks in to the local PD and confesses to the crime, then the case will probably not be given much attention. In defense of every “GOOD” cop, there is always at least 3 bad cops and the ACLU to run interference for criminal.
LeaveMeBe

I have dealt with a lot of LE that read it the same way you are, and I’m not being a bitch, but it’s incorrect. You cannot combine the two. I have had quite a few feel horrified after understanding that they impeded a parents right of custody to their child and made life a living hell because they learned by word of mouth from older co-workers instead of researching it themselves. That’s understandable since LE is focused mainly on criminal elements rather than civil or family law. I believe that usually when it happens it’s ignorance rather than lack of care or spitefulness.The point is that if you are 17 and you commit a crime then you will be charged as an adult in criminal court. That doesn’t make you a legal adult in any other way. If you are 17 years old and have 5 charges against you in a criminal court and you leave home, LE can return you to your legal guardian because you are not yet an adult in any way. If you are 17 and leave home and have never had a ticket or committed a crime in your life they can still take you home and you are still a minor child! Think of it this way, giving birth to a child doesn’t make you legally an adult however it does make you a guardian of your child but you are still a minor with a legal guardian yourself. Committing a crime doesn’t make you an adult however you are charged as one in a court system but you still have a legal guardian until you are 18. I hear all the time that it is a “gray” area but it’s not. Point blank, the only things that make you a legal adult with all the rights, responsibilities and privileges of an adult in this state is your 18th birthday, marriage or a Removal of the Disabilities of a Minor Child court order signed by a judge.
Helping parents and teens navigate adolescences and young adulthood in healthy and safe ways is my job and my passion. I am not trying to argue with you just for the sake of argument but becaue misinfromation in the wrong hands can have dire consequences as we’ve seen above. It just breaks my heart.
And what’s love got to do with it? Haha! You made me think of Tina Turner and now that song is stuck in my head.

I agree with your point. Why sacrifice the whole group for one member. There are alot of factors involved that could’ve been avoided in this situation, like them potentially killing him. But when you reach a point mentally and emotionally such as these parents must have, you probably come to a state that you truly believe what may not be the best option is the only option.

The prosecutor should be reminded that this only came to this conclusion because law enforcement didn’t take it seriously, and the local DA couldn’t care less about some missing 17. Personally people need to sue the everliving sh_t out of their local DAs and LE when they fail to do their jobs. Note to LE and DA, if you refuse to provide justice, then you better expect the people to get their own. True justice comes from God, not from Man’s laws.

Police arrest two more suspects in pimp’s murder
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Two more people have been arrested in the high-profile murder of a pimp in San Francisco’s Bayview District.
San Francisco police arrested Antonio Gilton Wednesday afternoon in the Western Addition. He’s the nephew of Barry Gilton, who along with his girlfriend, was charged last month with killing the man he claims was pimping his 17-year-old daughter. Police also arrested a second man, Alfonso Williams in Fairfield.
“Yesterday afternoon, officers from Park Station arrested Antonio Gilton on Grove Street here in San Francisco and then around 11 p.m. last night, officers from our violence reduction team arrested Alfonso Williams in Fairfield, California,” said SFPD Cmdr. John Loftus.
The murder victim in this case was Calvin Sneed. He was shot in his car June 4 in the Bayview. Both Gilton and Williams have been charged with murder in connection with the case as well as weapons-related charges. “I’ve had a short conversation with Mr. Gilton. He’s an innocent man and we look forward to fighting the case,” said Antonio Gilton’s lawyer Santeeta Sinha.
According to the complaint, the two met Barry Gilton in Hayes Valley on June 4, the afternoon of the murder. Williams obtained a .40 caliber handgun. They drove to the Bayview and waited for Sneed. The complaint says that when Sneed drove by, Barry Gilton shot him in the head.
Barry Gilton and his girlfriend Lupe Mercado pleaded not guilty last month to the murder charge. Their family, friends, and their attorneys say they were desperate to get their daughter back, but that they did not kill Sneed.
Prosecutors believe this bolsters their case, a story which has received national publicity. District Attorney George Gascon has said he understands the parents’ frustration but adds, “Vigilante murder is still murder.”
