A bloody Independence Day weekend replete with shootings and stabbings was capped by the city's 25th
homicide on Sunday.
The Medical Examiner's office moments ago identified the victim to
SF Weekly: Adam Noyes, a 25-year-old white male who had been living in San Francisco for some time, but had no fixed address.

Noyes was stabbed in an apparent late Sunday fight with a 65-year-old man with whom he'd had a fight, according to police. That man was arrested on the scene.
In addition to Noyes' murder, a cyclist on Embarcadero was robbed and repeatedly stabbed on July 4; a pair of men were shot on Van Ness and Sacramento on July 4; and a two more people were shot July 3 in North Beach right in front of plainclothes officers -- who made an arrest.
The murder is the city's first since former basketball prodigy Stephen Powell was shot in the Castro on Pink Saturday June 27.
