The chain of events that led to Kates murder began on March 23. when San Francisco County Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi requested that LopezSanchez be transferred from Federal prison to San Francisco. The sheriffs request was based on a 20yearold marijuana possession warrant. On March 26. LopezSanchez was booked into San Francisco County jail. However. the 20yearold marijuana charge was quickly dropped. and LopezSanchez was later released. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had asked Sheriff Mirkarimi to let the agency know when LopezSanchez would be released. That did not happen. A simple phone call would have been enough. but Sheriff Mirkarimi failed to notify Federal officials.
