(KRON) — The widow of a gunman who was killed in a police shootout in South San Francisco had her home burglarized and her car stolen in the days following the incident, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
After the death of Brian Montana, who was killed in a standoff with the South San Francisco Police Department on April 28, his wife traveled out of town, the DA’s office said. Upon her return on May 2, it was discovered that her home had been burglarized and her car was missing.
Investigators learned that neighbors had seen a man on the morning of May 2 moving items between the house and the car, but did not report it because they thought it was a family friend “due to his casual demeanor,” according to the DA’s office. The stranger, prosecutors allege, was Richard Vaka, 36, of Newark.
