In Santa Cruz, seven youths were arrested for murder of SFPD undercover officer Joe Brodnik and attempted murder of partner Paul McGoran, and burglary. They were defended by the activist lawyers Charles Garry and Richard Hodge, lauded by left entities like Ramparts Magazine. The young Latinos included four Salvadorans, one Nicaraguan, and one Honduran, some of whom had been involved in the youth group, the Mission Rebels (founded in 1965), and later in pan-Latino organizations such as COBRA (Confederation of Brown Race for Action) at the College of San Mateo, and the Brown Berets.
