Seek more possible minor victims

By San Francisco Police Department

MARCH 05, 2021

In the fall of 2020, the 8-year-old victim reported a sexual assault by the suspect that took place approximately seven months earlier while the suspect was staying overnight at the victim’s home in San Francisco. Upon learning of this assault, the victim’s mother immediately reported the incident to the San Francisco Police Department, and an investigation was initiated by the SFPD Special Victims Unit (SVU).

The investigation led to the discovery of a second victim who also reported numerous sexual advances and assaults when the victim was between the ages of 12-14 years old.

The suspect was identified as 56-year-old Brentwood resident Edward Earl Daniels.

On March 3, 2021, San Francisco Police officers arrested Daniels at his home in Brentwood, CA. He was booked on the following charges: Sexual Assault of a Child Under the Age of Ten (288.7(b)PC), and two counts of Lewd Acts Upon a Child (288(a)PC).

Daniels is currently being held on $1,000,000 bail.

This investigation involves further allegations that Daniels may have engaged in similar behavior with additional unknown minor victims who have not reported these crimes to law enforcement.

If you believe you may have been a victim of, or witness to, a crime related to Daniels, you are encouraged to contact Sgt. Gary Buckner of the San Francisco Police Department Special Victims Unit by calling 1-415-734- 3124.

Officers arrived on scene and located a vehicle stopped in the middle of the street, with one male driver inside and two other males in the process of getting into the vehicle. They were carrying a floor jack. The subjects were detained and an initial investigation uncovered materials consistent with catalytic convertor theft within their vehicle.

Additionally, a vehicle in the area appeared to have been a victim of an attempted catalytic convertor theft; most likely thwarted by the officers’ arrival. The three males were arrested and later booked into jail on the charges. Their vehicle was also towed.

Being held on $10 million bail; victim was 22-year-old Danny Guyse

By Pittsburg Police Department

It was September 27th, 2000, when Pittsburg Police Officers received a call about a man who had been shot while sitting in his car at 1605 Railroad Avenue. The victim was 22-year-old Danny Guyse of Pittsburg. Sadly, after he arrived at the hospital, Mr. Guyse died of his injuries.

Pittsburg Police Detectives had very little to work with in building a homicide case. There were no viable leads at the time. The only worthwhile information was that the person responsible possibly fled the scene in a light-colored Ford Mustang.

As with all homicide investigations, detectives continually worked the case over the following year. Ultimately, the investigation was assigned to the department’s Cold Case Unit in a continued effort to determine Mr. Guyse’s killer.

Over the next two decades, numerous suspects and persons of interest were developed and investigated.

In 2019 detectives got a break in this case and identified 44-year-old Paea Tasini as possibly involved in this homicide. As a result of the newly learned information, detectives authored a search warrant where detectives obtained additional information critical to the case.

Based on the newly obtained information and continued work by detectives, this case was taken to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office for review. On February 17, 2021, the District Attorney’s Office filed a criminal complaint charging Tasini for the murder of Danny Guyse. Tasini was additionally charged with another count of attempt murder related to a separate shooting that also occurred in 2000. Late Wednesday evening, with the assistance of the Elk Grove Police Department, detectives located Tasini at his residence in the city of Elk Grove and placed him under arrest. Tasini is currently being held at the Martinez Detention Facility on a $10 million bail.
