A former San Diego city attorney issued a public demand Wednesday for his successor, Mara Elliott, to answer specific questions about when she first learned of alleged corruption in the city’s failed lease of 101 Ash Street, a now uninhabitable office tower.
Michael Aguirre, who was the elected San Diego city attorney between 2004 and 2008, made the request of Elliott at an afternoon press conference on the front steps of the former Sempra Energy headquarters at 101 Ash St.
Aguirre said he wants to know when city officials learned that real estate adviser Jason Hughes collected nearly $10 million from a middleman company in the deal while consulting with former Mayor Kevin Faulconer.

A 30-year-old man has been charged with murder after his mother was found dead in their shared Barrio Logan apartment last week.
Marco Agundez remained jailed without bail Tuesday, a day after he pleaded not guilty to murder in the June 24 death of 64-year-old Francisca Agundez. He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
Authorities have not said how the woman was killed, and Deputy District Attorney Callan Smith said no new details of the case were revealed during Agundez’s arraignment in San Diego Superior Court on Monday.
Last week, San Diego police said the defendant’s brother, who also lives in the apartment on Boston Avenue near South 28th Street, called about 3:40 p.m. Thursday and said he’d been unable to reach his mother all day, but came home and found her dead in a bathroom. He also told police he and his brother had a brawl after the discovery.

About 6:45 p.m. on June 21, someone called 911 about an unresponsive infant in need of medical attention in a home on 53rd Street at Groveland Drive in Valencia Park, San Diego police Lt. Andra Brown said in a news release.
