SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A man who prosecutors say shot and killed his father and stepmother in front of his younger sibling in San Francisco more than three years ago has been found guilty of murder.
A jury convicted Irvin Hernandez-Flores, 27, of two counts of second-degree murder, each with allegations of personal use of a firearm causing death, found true, in connection with the deadly shooting, according to the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors say Hernandez-Flores drove to his father’s and stepmother’s Bayview home on Aug. 13, 2022, around 2:30 a.m. and scaled a locked security fence into the property.
He then broke into the home, where he opened fire on his father five times and his stepmother six times in front of his younger sister, prosecutors said. He then began livestreaming the event on Facebook, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
His father died at the scene, while his stepmother died at a local hospital, prosecutors said. Prosecutors did not provide a motive behind the shooting.
“No child should have to witness the murder of her parents like the victim did in this tragic case,” San Francisco Assistant District Attorney John Roman said. “The jury, after careful consideration, returned verdicts that will ensure Mr. Hernandez Flores is held accountable for his depraved conduct.”
Hernandez-Flores is due back in court on Feb. 27 for sentencing, prosecutors said.
