Paea Tasini, 46, was charged with murdering 22-year-old Danny Guyse Jr. in 2000 in Pittsburg.
MARTINEZ — Pittsburg police have closed a cold case homicide investigation in the strangest of ways: the suspect told on himself.
In 2019, a retired Pittsburg police detective, Kirk Sullivan, took on the Guyse investigation in his newfound role as a part-time cold case inspector. He noticed that Tasini had been interviewed but saw no corresponding report, so Sullivan travelled to Elk Grove, knocked on Tasini’s door, and asked if he wanted to talk, authorities said.
The motive, according to Jallepalli, had to do with a feud between rival drug crews in East Contra Costa at the time. Guyse had allegedly made disparaging comments about the alleged shooter, but pleaded with his killers in his final moments, telling them he had no interest in the dispute between crews.
