The San Francisco Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim of a fatal stabbing that occurred March 13 in the South of Market neighborhood as 37-year-old Toti Anamani, Jr.
The incident took place at the Plaza Apartments at Howard and Sixth Streets, according to residents interviewed by Mission Local. The building is a supportive housing unit for people with disabilities and people who have experienced homelessness, and is funded by the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s Direct Access to Housing program, according to the property manager’s website.
San Francisco police responded to the SoMa building at around 2:10 p.m., where they found the victim with multiple stab wounds, according to a department press release. He died at the scene. The police department’s homicide detail is investigating.
Staff members at the building declined to comment and referred questions to the property manager, the John Stewart Company. The firm is the largest affordable housing manager in California, managing 289 properties across the state, including 40 in San Francisco. It has been the subject of lawsuits in recent years, alleging poor conditions at its properties, among other issues.
The company did not return a request for comment.
Residents of the building told Mission Local that the suspect had been arrested, and that he lived in the building. They did not know the victim.
The police department has not announced an arrest and did not return requests for comment.
