SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A suspect in an August shooting in San Francisco that left a man hospitalized has been arrested, police said.
The man is accused of shooting another person on the afternoon of Aug. 7 in the area of Golden Gate Avenue and Jones Street. It’s unclear what led up to the shooting, but police said the victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

On Thursday, Oct. 23, a mix of SFPD, Tracy Police Department and U.S. Marshals set up surveillance at a home in Tracy where they believed Thompson was, authorities.
They took him into custody just after 3:30 p.m. that day in connection with the shooting, police said.
He was taken to San Francisco County Jail, where he was booked on suspicion of aggravated assault with a firearm, felon in possession of a firearm and robbery, police said.
