On December 26, 2013, the San Francisco Police Department, Homicide Detail arrested a 16 year old San Francisco resident for murder and attempted robbery. This homicide occurred on December 14, 2013, on the 500 block of Alemany Boulevard.

The robbery victim was walking in the area when he was approached by a group of males and surrounded. One of the suspects demanded the victim’s cell phone. One suspect produced a handgun while the other suspects were rifling though the victim’s possessions.

The other suspects ran from the scene. When police arrived on the scene, they found the wounded robbery victim and the deceased robbery suspect. The robbery victim was taken to the hospital where, very fortunately, he survived his injuries.
