The New Year's Season is always punctuated with a series of lasts and firsts. Sadly, one of the grimmer milestones of 2011 was not long in coming. Larry Lacy, just 20 years old, was shot dead on New Year's Day, and became the city's first homicide victim of the year.
Lacy was shot multiple times by an as-yet at-large gunman at close range on the 100 block of Turk near Taylor at around 3:20 p.m.
Lacy's city of residence has not yet been released by the San Francisco Medical Examiner. It is not yet known whether he knew his killer, but it seems he was targeted by the gunman, who had been apparently sitting on the sidewalk with the murder suspect before the gunman opened fire and then fled on foot.
Lacy is the city's aforementioned first murder victim of the year and first since Maurice Williamson was gunned down in Bayview on Dec. 28.
