Visitacion Valley Aggravated Assault Update 19-003

On January 8, 2019 at approximately 6:45AM, San Francisco Police officers responded to a residence on the 1000 block of Visitacion Avenue. A witness reported seeing an unknown male suspect exit the residence from an interior staircase then walk eastbound on Visitacion Avenue.

Shortly thereafter, an 88 year-old female suffering from severe head injuries was located in a park across the street. The victim was transported to the hospital and still being treated for life-threatening injuries.

Investigators believe the unknown suspect attacked the victim in the park and then entered her home across the street before fleeing the area. The suspect is described as a black male in his thirties, approximately 5’6” tall with a skinny build.  A dedicated team of investigators from the SFPD Special Victims Unit is actively working this case.
