Ignited Miami ghetto riots
Cop charged with slaying
United Press International
MIAMI — A grand jury in
dictment was unsealed Wednes
day and charged a policeman
with manslaughter in the fatal
shooting of a black man whose
death sparked three days of ra
cial violence in Miami’s Over
town ghetto.
State Attorney Janet Reno
said Officer Luis Alvarez, 32,
was expected to surrender to au
thorities later Thursday and
would be released on his own
recognizance after being
booked.
“I think the grand jury acted
correctly,” Reno said. “He will
be prosecuted.”
The indictment, handed
down Wednesday night, was un
sealed by Circuit Judge Gerald
Wetherington.
The 18-member grand jury
began its investigation Tuesday
into the shooting of Nevell John
son, 20, a courier who was shot
at a video game room Dec. 28.
The shooting triggered a
three-day rampage in Overtown
in which police shot and killed
another black man, and 26 peo
ple were injured and more than
a dozen businesses were dam
aged.
After the shooting, Alvarez
was suspended with pay. He re
fused to give a statement to
homicide detectives on the
advice of his attorney.
City Manager Howard Gary
said Alvarez and his rookie part
ner, Louis Cruz, left their
assigned patrol in a predomi
nantly Latin neighborhood and
went to the game room without
official permission.
Police said Johnson was car
rying a stolen gun but there was
no official explanation on how
he got the weapon or why he was
carrying it the night he was shot.
The investigation by the Dade
County state attorney’s office
was one of seven city, state and
federal investigations into John
son’s death.
Death threats forced
deal — DeLorean
drug
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Flam
boyant automaker John DeLo
rean charges he was lured into a
drug “sting” operation by gov
ernment manipulations and was
threatened with death to himself
and his children if he backed out
of the deal.
The former General Motors’
boy wonder broke a four-month
silence since his arrest on drug
charges with an interview in
Rolling Stone magazine to be
published Feb. 28.
DeLorean, 58, said he once
tried to pull out of the cocaine
deal.designed to save his gleam
ing, stainless steel, gull-wing
sports car, but death threats
were made by convicted cocaine
smuggler James Hoffman.
% Hoffman, 41, has been iden
tified as the government’s infor
mer in the case against DeLo
rean, William Hetrick, 51, and
Stephen Arrington, 34.
“You know all the players,”
Hoffman reportedly told DeLo
rean. “You know the bank. You
know this and that. You (profan
ity) around, and your kids are
going to get killed. It’s going to
be a bloody mess.”
DeLorean told Rolling Stone
writer Aaron Latham during the
six-hour interview at his New
Jersey estate that he is still af raid
for his life.
In the Rolling Stone inter
view, DeLorean claimed that the
FBI bugged his attorney’s tele
phone. He said a bug had been
found in a conference room. He
is quoted as saying, “My lawyer
goes to a pay phone and I go to a
pay phone. Now what kind of a
way to talk to your lawyer is
that?”

DeForean also said that when
he found a wealthy California
insurance man (unidentified in
the article) to invest $10 million
in DeLorean Motor Co., the
British government rejected the
offer and closed the plant under
pressure.
“It’s obvious they deliberately
— with information from some
body here — aborted a legiti
mate transaction to drive me
into a phony deal,” he said.
