103 Dealers Arrested in Tenderloin Drug Sweep
The SFPD arrested 103 suspected drug dealers in a week-long operation in the Tenderloin. A similar operation in July netted 101 arrests. On Saturday night I guess saw some of the action from the F on Market Street. A guy was getting arrested by 4 plainclothes officers on mid-market. Needless to say it was pretty interesting to the tourists riding the train.
6 shot Saturday through Monday
- Two men shot Sunday morning
- One man shot in Visitacion Valley Sunday evening
- One man shot in the foot in Hunters Point, Monday morning
- According to commenter yeastbeast, one man was shot at 19th and Capp in the Mission Saturday Morning, and a Homicide inspector was spotted at the scene several hours later.
- According to an anonymous commenter, another man was shot Saturday morning at Jones and Golden Gate street in the Tenderloin.
Hmmm, according to a commenter on SFgate, there was a shooting at Hyde and Leavenworth today as well (comment is by Nicolette, at the bottom of the page.)

Two shot Sunday morning
Two victims took themselves to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center at 5:30 a.m. with gunshot wounds. They were then transferred to SFGH. There's no other information. I'm guessing they were shot in the Western Addition, if they took themselves to Kaiser...
Update: Looks like they were shot on the 100 block of Turk street, in the Tenderloin.

Murder Total
San Francisco is at 90 murders now, or 89, according to the SF Chronicle, up from 85 for all of 2006, according to the SFPD (or 86, according to the FBI). It should be safe to say that 2005's 10-year record of 96 will be broken by the end of the year. It's certainly possible that the next highest record, 103 murders in 1995 (according to Chronicle. FBI says 99), may also be broken, which would give SF the highest murder rate since 1993, when 133 people were killed, according to the Chronicle (FBI says 129 killed). That record will probably not be broken unless there's some insane surge in killings.
The discrepancy between my count and the Chronicle's may be Hugues De La Plaza, who's death isn't officially counted as a murder so far, as the Medical Examiner has not released any official ruling on the cause of his death. Thanks to G.W. Schulz of the SFBG for the information on this, which he posted in a comment here.
Also, for those who had been wondering about the body in front of the Hilton last month, it was not a shooting. The victim either fell, was pushed, or jumped off of a balcony on the Hilton. Details are here.
Lastly, I'm pretty sure that the man I had reported as being shot and run over, in the suspicious/unverified deaths section, was actually the robber who was shot and run over by a father-son vigilante duo (he survived).

Two shot during lovefest
As quoted from Sfist:
Late afternoon 2 men were shot on Market Street between 6th and 7th. One victim, an innocent bystander who appeared to be a Love Fest attendee, was shot in the hand while shielding himself from a direct hit. The other victim, who was arguing with the shooter, was hit in the hand and back. Police and Ambulances where on the scene almost immediately. A bullet went through the window of an art studio and scared the heck out of an artist at work.

Man shot to death in Visitacion Valley
SF: UPDATE: VEHICLE COLLISION MAY BE MOTIVE FOR SATURDAY SHOOTING
09/30/07 6:25 PDT
SAN FRANCISCO (BCN)
San Francisco police are saying today they believe that a fatal shooting that took place in the Visitation Valley district on Saturday afternoon was a result of a vehicle collision.
According to police Sgt. Neville Gittens, at around 12:05 p.m. there may have been a traffic collision between two cars in the 100 block of Raymond Street.
Gittens said they believe there were three suspects in the suspect vehicle. After the collision, said Gittens, two of the suspects got out of the car and began to talk with 66-year-old Kam Shing Yam of San Francisco, who had exited his vehicle.
One of the suspects then jumped into the victim's car and tried to drive away, said Gittens. Yam reportedly stood in front of the vehicle in order to stop the suspect from driving away.
At that point, said Gittens, the second suspect shot at Yam, who was later pronounced dead at the scene. The suspects drove away in both vehicles.
Yam's car was later found deserted at La Grande and Brazil avenues near John McLaren Park, said Gittens.
Police are now asking for the public's help in finding the three suspects, possibly in their teens or early-20s. If anyone has information about the incident, please call the Confidential Tip line at (415) 575-4444.

Man shot to death on Friday
SF: FATAL FRIDAY SHOOTING VICTIM IDENTIFIED
09/24/07 11:05 PDT
SAN FRANCISCO (BCN)
A San Francisco man who was shot and killed Friday afternoon has been identified today by the San Francisco medical examiner's office as 32-year-old Herbert Bell.
Bell was driving in front of 1655 Jerrold St. around 2:45 p.m. when two suspects fired into his vehicle. Bell suffered gunshot wounds and died at the scene, San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens said. A female passenger in the car was not injured.
Police are investigating the shooting, but there are no suspects, Gittens said.
Notice how when there's a murder in Oakland, Berkeley, Redwood City, or San Jose, the news is all over it. Kill someone in SF, and you have a good chance there will be no news, save for a skimpy article that appears 3 days later, on Bay City Newswire and the Examiner. I came across this one by chance, checking the BCN website. I saw the headline, and pasted it into google (rather than pay $20 to view the article)...that's how I found out. Cbs5 apparently had it for maybe an hour before it was pushed off their site.

No arrests have been made in the shooting, police reported.

Shooting in Western Addition. Chronicle Graphic
It first appeared to be an all-too-typical drive-by shooting in San Francisco's troubled Western Addition - distinguished only because it was witnessed by a member of the city's Board of Supervisors.
But police now say the incident was far darker: an extreme case of vigilante vengeance involving a father and his 16-year-old son against a supposed street robber blamed for holding up the youth on the way to school.
The 39-year-old father, after being summoned to the scene by his son, allegedly ran over the suspected robber in the family car and then urged his son to shoot the prone man in the street. Authorities say he did. Somehow, the man survived. Both father and son now face attempted murder charges.

One more murder
Hugues De La Plaza, 36, was stabbed to death on July 2nd, in his apartment on Linden Street in Hayes Valley. Originally reported as "a possible homicide" by the SFPD, and as a suicide by the medical examiner, the case is actually being investigated as a homicide. Both by the SFPD and French police, as requested by De La Plaza's parents, who are French citizens. He is now listed as homicide number 56.
And here's an alarming statistic (taken from the Hugues De La Plaza Blog):
And here's an alarming statistic (taken from the Hugues De La Plaza Blog):
Here's a statistic you could use:
From 2004 through August 2006, San Francisco had 253 Homicides; only one person was convicted. (This statistic comes from a Legislative Analyst's report commissioned by San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi)
Forgotten Homicide
On April 15th, 14 year-old Tamesha Tobie, of Stockton -reportedly- accidentally shot and killed herself in her grandmother's home on Oak Street. Well apparently, someone else shot her, according to a report released July 1st by the medical examiner, and Tamesha Tobie is now San Francisco's 30th homicide of the year. Up until early September, when the Guardian investigated, even the SFPD, including the Lt. of the Homicide Unit, had no knowledge of the medical examiner's findings, though the Lt. states he personally regarded it as suspicious all along. It was only after the Guardian's report that the SFPD ruled her death a homicide. Further more, the gun that killed her (a .357 magnum revolver. Think Dirty Harry) has been found to have been used in another homicide, earlier this year.
So that's 82 homicides for SF.

Nortenos terrorize residents in the Mission
As reported by an anonymous contributer at SFist:
Nortenos wage campaign of terror in the Mission: Just as the bars closed for the night, at approximately 2:10-2:30 of Sunday morning (Sept. 9) a group of about 10-15 norteno gang members went on a rampage at the corner of 24th and Shotwell. They literally stopped cars driving down 24th Street and threatened drivers. They also threw rocks and bottles and vandalized parked cars. The gang members then fired several shots into the air, from what I presumed to be fully automatic handguns. SFPD responded rather quickly after shots were fired, but the gang members got away. I overheard the gang members saying that this was their barrio.
Could be that the gang is trying to intimidate people in the neighborhood before the injunctions are enforced. Stay safe out there!
