Two people were shot at 16th and Mission streets early Sunday morning, according to the San Francisco Police Department. Both were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, and one died at the hospital.
Officers arrested a 23-year-old, Larry Hudgson Jr., as a suspect in the killing. He was booked into jail at 9:06 a.m. on Sunday morning on a murder charge without the possibility of bail, according to sheriff’s booking logs.
Officers arrested Hudgson just hours after the shooting. San Francisco police officers were first dispatched to 16th and Mission streets for a shooting at around 12:25 a.m., the department said. Officers were told that “two subjects were on the ground following an altercation.”
The arriving officers found two people with gunshot wounds. They and paramedics rendered aid before both were taking to the hospital, where one of the victims was declared dead.
At the scene, officers found a firearm and “were advised that a possible suspect involved was located near Visitacion Valley,” the department wrote. They found Hudgson and arrested him “without further incident.”
