San Francisco police officers on Friday arrested a man in connection to a 2024 homicide in the Mission District that took the life of a 32-year-old.
The San Francisco Police Department’s SWAT team arrested Darryon Harry Chun, 28, on the 2500 block of 41st Avenue in the Outer Sunset after entering the property with a search warrant. The SWAT team also executed a warrant at an address in Daly City, but it was not immediately clear how that property was connected to Chun.
Chun was booked into a San Francisco County jail on a murder charge.
The alleged homicide took place on Aug. 5 in 2024 near 20th and Shotwell streets. Officers responded around 5 a.m. and found a 32-year-old man lying on the ground with gunshot wounds. The man was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving aid from officers and paramedics.
Mission Local reported at the time that the homicide may have been related to a robbery at Ed & Danny’s Market and Liquor at a nearby corner earlier that night. Three people had entered the store and stolen cartons of cigarettes, bottles of Casamigos tequila and about $1,000 in cash, according to the store’s manager, Preed Singh.
Singh said officers subsequently told him “that [the robbers] shot someone after this.”
SFPD’s homicide unit then investigated and “identified a suspect and developed probable cause” to arrest Chun. Despite Friday’s arrest, the investigation remains open.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 1-415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.
