Overview

  • A 19-year-old woman was killed and a 19-year-old man wounded in a Bayview shooting Monday night, with the victims driving nearly two miles before stopping on César Chávez Street for help.
  • The San Francisco Police Department’s Homicide Unit has opened its investigation into the city’s 15th homicide of the year and fourth in Bayview, and no arrests have been announced.
  • Oakland police are probing seven shootings over the past weekend that injured seven people and left one dead, and one individual is in custody in connection with the fatal case.
  • Bayview community leaders warn that cuts to neighborhood programs have undermined violence-prevention efforts and are calling for renewed investment to address recurring gunfire incidents.
  • Authorities in both cities are appealing for public tips, photos and video to advance investigations and identify those responsible.
