Appeals panel overturns felony murder conviction in case of man killed in North Park dispute over hair (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A state appeals court panel has reversed a first-degree murder conviction stemming from a 2022 killing in North Park. A jury convicted Alberto Barraza last year of fatally stabbing 23-year-old Nikko Guardado. A judge sentenced him to 26 years to life.

The global architect firm, the Gensler Research Institute, based in San Francisco, shared the results of “The Downtown Report: City Pulse 2026” at Downtown San Diego Partnership’s new event, The State of Downtown.
