San Francisco police arrested two brothers today, saying they're responsible for slaying two men in separate shootings yesterday morning.
Homicide investigators nabbed 22-year-old Kenyon Norbert and his younger brother, 21- year-old Kishawn Norbert and charged them for the murders of Willie Cain, 24, and 30-year-old Keith Zinn.
On Monday, just before 3 a.m., Cain was shot in the head on the unit block of Brookdale Avenue near the city's Sunnydale housing projects. About six hours later, gunfire erupted again nearly five miles away on the unit block of Ironwood Way in the city's Bayview District.
Tomorrow, San Francisco's police dogs are scheduled to take a few hours off from sniffing out drugs and tracking down bad people for a work-related fashion show.
Specifically, the pups will be strutting around in their new custom-made bullet proof vests designed to better protect our local K-9s -- and their handlers -- while fighting crime.
Six of the Department's K-9s will receive one of the new vests donated by the Cover Your K-9 Fund, a nonprofit that helps keep California's police pups safe while on the job. The new vests will feature all kinds of cool technology, including infared lights with attachable cameras (for building searches), and rappel straps if they need to raise or lower a dog mid crime-fighting.
Investigators have arrested an Oakland man linked to a shooting that took place at a San Francisco's TJ Maxx store last month.
Henry Smith, 29, was arrested near Leavenworth and Ellis streets in the Tenderloin last Wednesday on suspicion of attempted murder. According to police, Smith was at the TJ Maxx on the 800 block of Harrison when he got into an argument inside the store. The verbal altercation quickly spilled out onto the street. and escalated when Smith allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the groin.
San Francisco Police are investigating a crime near University of San Francisco where a man was stabbed and robbed during a fender bender late last night.
According to Sgt. Danielle Newman, a 29-year-old man was driving in his employer-issued vehicle for a work-related meeting at about 9:45 p.m. when he collided with a white four-door sedan on the 2800 block of Turk Street.
What happened next is a little less clear:
In Europe, where the terms "football" and "rail travel" have different connotations than they do here, rail travelers to distant football games might opt to hop the "football special."
Last week, we told you about another wayward marmot who had hitched a ride to San Francisco making himself right at home in the city's Potrero Hill neighborhood. Wildlife rescuers had big plans to capture the large squirrel and send him back to his rightful home.
According to the Wildlife Emergency Services, Duane, the person commissioned to catch the runaway rodent, headed down to 25th and Rhode Island streets, where a family had reported seeing the marmot camping out in their backyard. He arrived with two cages in the garden, prepared to bait the sneaky critter with a snack plate filled with apples, organic Newman's fig cookies, and some sweet melon.
Here's what happened next:
Medical authorities say it was 30-year-old Keith Zinn who was gunned down in broad daylight yesterday morning in the city's Bayview neighborhood.
Just before 10 a.m. on Monday, police were called out to the intersection of Ironwood and Catalina Street where they found Zinn, a San Francisco resident, with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police say.
