A 43-year-old California business owner was arrested after an alleged murder plot against one of his own employees was foiled by a gun jam. The incident occurred in Half Moon Bay, a small coastal city just south of San Francisco.
Authorities say Thomas Azevedo, owner of Azevedo Feed, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly leading one of his employees to a remote area on his Half Moon Bay property and trying to shoot him in the head on Wednesday, January 29. The victim, who has yet to be named, showed up at the Coastside Fire Protection District Station 40 just after 7 p.m. that evening to report the incident, describing an ensuing fight for his life after a near brush with death. Deputies responded immediately, according to a statement from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim, a resident of Pacifica, told the deputies that Azevedo lured him to a remote part of the property to work on a fence that needed repair, but upon arrival, authorities say Azevedo “allegedly brandished a firearm, pointed it at the victim’s head and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not go off.” The sheriff’s office reports that Azevedo allegedly attempted to fire the gun several more times, pulling the trigger repeatedly while the employee tried to wrestle the gun away from him, describing a moment when the firearm, which has yet to be identified, finally discharged a round into the air. Luckily, nobody was injured.
Deputies arrested Azevedo shortly after without incident, and the business owner was booked into Maguire Correctional Facility, charged with attempted murder. According to authorities, a gun violence restraining order was subsequently issued by a judge and served to Azevedo before deputies seized more than a dozen firearms from Azevedo Feed.
The incident currently remains under investigation; however, prosecutors have yet to file charges against Azevedo because they feel there is insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, according to Nicole Sato, the deputy in charge of the southern municipal branch of the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Without witnesses, a recording or specific injuries, this case could wind up being one person’s word versus another’s, with only the two involved knowing what really took place that night. If it happened as the alleged victim described, it is not clear yet what motivation Azevedo had in wanting to end the life of his employee. Wouldn’t it have just been easier to fire him rather than at him? One way or another, there’s definitely more to this story.
Did the fence ever get fixed?
that’s a barbed question. i’ll post a tru- link if i can find one. maybe it’s in the stockade, i’ll try not to invade anyone’s privacy but i’m not sure how i’m going to pickett. if i make myself nearly invisible by eating nothing but lattice i can make it to the shadow box, but if i’m detected i’ll get run out of town on a split- rail heading into a cyclone.

guy has a dozen gats and he picks the lorcin?
With a little tweaking by someone who knows how to tweak they can make a lorcin just as dependable as a turkey salazimar
“it takes a lorcin and keeps on dorkin”
Obviously you shouldn’t ask Mr Azevedo for a raise. Or even ask Jefe Azevedo to even get paid.
I lived in Half Moon Bay (many moons ago, har har). It was a beautiful smaller community back in the ’80s. I drove through it several years ago while on my way to Northern California on vacation, and the former growth restrictions/regs had obviously been removed. There was construction everywhere and the idyllic grassy bluffs overlooking the ocean I had walked during my college years were replete with houses blocking the view.
This Mr. Azevedo would have been in early elementary school at the time. Probably learning how to be the playground bully.
“I lived in Half Moon Bay (many moons ago, har har). It was a beautiful smaller community back in the ’80s.”
I was there in 1998 on vacation and hit the aquarium, a *very* nice place. August weather was cool and foggy, much nicer than Florida’s misery summer heat…
You mean Monterey Bay, yes? HMB doesn’t have one, but Monterey to its south has the #1 aquarium in the nation. It’s been the go-to weekend vacation spot for me and Mrs. Haz for a very long time. Our favorite, tied with our favorite Hawai’ian beach.
“You mean Monterey Bay, yes?”
You’re right, it was Monterey, just a drop-dead beautiful corner of the world.
If it wasn’t so hostile to the 2A, I could live in Cali…
is that what really happened or did the employee get fired so he reported this to the police

And don’t live in California.
Tully, I have carried a 442 w/Spiegel Boot Grips since 1091. Never had a trigger job, but it’s slick as snot on an oyster just from shooting. In my R/F pocket now in a Mitch Rosen pocket holster. Never hung my head on the range when I had to qualify.
… since 1091? So where do you store it in the Delorean Doc ? – oooh wait, I bet Marty stashes it in one of the Flux Capacitors, right?
I’m sure he remembers the Norman invasion of 1066 too. Just a typo. I’ve got big hands and the 9 & 0 buttons are right next to each other on my I phone.
I responded that it was good natured messing with other regulars here, but it was disappeared and never to be seen apparently.
Barring additional evidence, this should be EXTREMELY unlikely to result in conviction. Were I Mr. Azevedo, I would certainly deny all of it. Of course, I would never utilize a Lorcin, so…
That could be his defense. “C’mon your honor, if I really intended to kill him, I wouldn’t have used a Lorcin.”
This would not be the first time a CA employer paid off his illegal help with murder and a shallow grave. Just another reason to regain control of the border. It saves lives.

NY hotel forced to repay FEMA $59 million (for housing illegals) that recently fired FEMA head sent them in direct disobedience of presidential order and law. (note: ya wanna know why FEMA suddenly claimed they were supposedly out of money to help help hurricane disaster victims – this is why, the money was being spent to support Biden-Harris and left-wing invasion of our country by illegals. Biden’s FEMA wasn’t out of money, they had plenty for disaster relief – but they illegally separated the money with the majority going to support Biden-Harris and left-wing invasion of our country by illegals, when they claimed they were out of money for disaster they were talking about the much smaller amount they had set aside for disaster without disclosing the much larger amount was there for disaster but they were using it illegally to support Biden-Harris and left-wing invasion of our country by illegals.)

“Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I have clawed back the full payment that FEMA deep state activists unilaterally gave to NYC migrant hotels.
FEMA was funding the Roosevelt Hotel that serves as a Tren de Aragua base of operations and was used to house Laken Riley’s killer.
Mark my words: there will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people.”
It is wonderful to see in regular news finally. I am sure it will have all kinds of commie handwaving and attempt at misdirection but this is a great starting point. Medicaid (state fund), DMV non not federal verified Driver’s licenses ! already hearing the governor bitch about that ) and all recent ebt enrollment for the last 5 years would be great hunting grounds for data on illegal aliens in NY.

………well this is going to be an interesting month at work……….sigh time to get the grievance folder out.
“Pam Bondi Announces Charges Against Kathy Hochul… “
Charges? Hilarious!
Perhaps one day you’ll learn the difference between a civil lawsuit and criminal charges but I don’t guess it’s today…
“NEW YORK (WABC) — The Justice Department is taking legal action against the state of New York and Gov. Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday, over its alleged resistance to supporting the Trump Administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.“
Charges are what Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 times, lawsuits are a civil dispute.
Weak ass propaganda attempt.
Bud you don’t want to know how bad any investigation of NY political action could get, from the last 5 years especially. But yes handwave it away and pretend it’s not a problem you do have your propaganda to push after all.
Our friend above posted that “charges have been filed”.
So what “charges” were filed?
it’s the first step in what in all likelihood will be a process ending in convictions thoroughly enjoyed by the majority here and is obviously already squeezing your shoes.
“it’s the first step in what in all likelihood will be a process ending in convictions“
Nope, that’s backwards.
The typical procedure if criminal behavior is suspected is to conduct a criminal investigation initially, if sufficient evidence is found to support prosecution on criminal charges then the DA files charges.
Once those charges have been upheld in a court of law and convictions reached, then a civil suit is filed to recover damages.
Filing a civil suit first without a criminal investigation or prosecution means it’s just bullshit grandstanding for the MAGA dupes.

“Charges? Hilarious!
Perhaps one day you’ll learn the difference between a civil lawsuit and criminal charges but I don’t guess it’s today…”
I know the difference because I know how to read the English language, and obviously you don’t. So here is what you missed in your ‘worst public school in the nation’ 3rd grade reading AND comprehension…
‘Charges’ is the proper term to use, ‘Charge’ is an ‘intransitive verb’ meaning. basically, a verb or verb construction that does not require or cannot take a direct object. It doesn’t just apply for just criminal cases but also applies for civil cases.
It would be different if they said, for example, ‘criminal charges’ then ‘charges’ would have a direct object (i.e. ‘criminal’) and no longer be an ‘intransitive verb’ – it would also be different if they said ‘civil charges’ (yes, a lawsuit is a civil charge) then ‘charges’ would have a direct object (i.e. ‘criminal’) and no longer be and ‘intransitive verb’. The case does not need to be criminal for ‘charges’ to be levied – they can also happen in civil cases.
But as used stand alone its an ‘intransitive verb’ and its use is proper so… like I posted , which obviously upsets you, “BOOM! Pam Bondi Announces Charges Against Kathy Hochul and Letitia James (and DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder.)”
“So what “charges” were filed?”
That outlined moron.
Perhaps one day you will learn how to read English properly and what context means.
Ya enjoy dancing in the blood of the innocent don’t you Mynr49r (AKA ‘Miner -er 49er, AKA ‘Missy12’). Bondi takes actions against the left wingers for harboring murderers and all you rant about is more of your own stupid.
Do you know who Kayla Hamilton is? She is an autistic woman who was murdered by an MS-13 gang member who entered the country illegally. Those are the types of people Kathy Hochul and Letitia James and Mark Schroeder are trying to protect.
I hope Trump hunts down every single one of the criminal illegals you are so keen to protect Mynr49r (AKA ‘Miner -er 49er, AKA ‘Missy12’).
The democrats and the left wing media had a really good time using the ‘intransitive verb’ ‘Charges’ when it came to civil lawsuits for Trump, heck, you even mimicked them and did it yourself. But now suddenly, its not ok to use the same thing, and properly too, because its your fellow radical left-wingers and on top of that you display you can’t actually properly read the English language. Go away moron.
Found guilty of 34 times. And what was his sentence?
A return to the oval office. You truly haven’t a clue. A walking, talking indictment of the education system.
