Arriving officers found a shooting victim at Persia and Ocean Avenues.  The victim, a 20-year-old male resident of Brentwood, was later transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  Officers also located a 22-year-old male from Elk Grove at the intersection of Mission Street and Persia Avenue.  This victim was suffering from gunshot wounds and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

A third victim, a 19-year-old male Santa Rosa resident was transported by private vehicle to the hospital and treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

The San Francisco Police Department Homicide Detail initiated an investigation that led to the identity of the shooting suspect who has been charged for shooting all three victims.
