Assault
It’s a call no officer wants to hear, shots fired at an intersection
at a time when it’s busy with pedestrians and motorists. Ingleside Officers
Wise and Snadow, along with more than a dozen of their colleagues, responded to
Onondaga and Mission and on arrival found a chaotic and violent scene.
Dispatched had advised the officers that a man, accompanied by a woman, had
discharged a firearm into the air at the intersection. Witnesses told the
officers that the couple had engaged in a violent argument with the man trying
to choke the woman while pinning her to the hood of a car. Many passersby
yelled at the man to stop and called 911. He responded by pulling an automatic
weapon from his belt and firing several shots in the air. One couple yelled
from their passing car at the man and they were met with several shots fired at
their vehicle all penetrating the trunk of the car and blowing out the rear
window. They were fortunate to escape injury. With the arrival of police, the
suspect and his girlfriend, fled South on Mission. Officers pursued and watched
as the male suspect threw his firearm on the roof of a business on the 4900
block of Mission. The chase continued until both were apprehended near the
Safeway parking lot. The suspect was arrested for numerous violent crimes and
booked at San Francisco County Jail. The female companion refused medical
attention. She was provided an emergency protective order and released to her
mother. The firearm used in the incident was reported stolen in a residential
burglary in San Francisco shortly before Christmas last year. Report number:
160029788

Blk Trumbull Robbery
A woman preparing to enter her parked car was violently
assaulted by two suspects. The victim told Ingleside Officers Hackard, Campos,
and Thompson that as she placed her keys into the door lock, two men approached
with one of them saying, “Give me the keys to your car.” When she said “No”,
one of the suspects punched her on the left side of the head with a closed fist,
while the other suspect pushed her to the ground. The suspects then took her
purse, ripped her earrings from her ears, grabbed a bracelet off her wrist, a
ring from her finger, and ran away. The crying victim ran to a nearby residence
where the occupant called police. Besides the jewelry, the victim lost a cell
phone, and a large amount of cash. She was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital
for treatment of her injuries. The victim told the officers that her vehicle
was stolen a few months earlier and recovered by San Francisco Police with
items belonging to the thief recovered in the car. She was also the victim of a
home burglary approximately a month ago. Police are investigating the
possibility that one or both of the previous crimes may be related to this
latest case. Report number: 160029631
