Just hours after city officials called for an end to street violence by announcing a 24-hour ceasefire<\/a> Thursday afternoon, a teenager was sent to the hospital with life-threatening injuries following a fight near Mission and 18th streets that resulted in gunfire. <\/p>\n

The shooting occurred around 3 pm Thursday after a \u201cbig fight\u201d broke out near Mission and 18th streets. Witnesses heard one or two gunshots, as Mission Local reports<\/a>. According to reports on Citizen<\/a>, the teen was shot in the abdomen by two suspects wearing black masks who fled the scene. <\/p>\n

Police were still determining how many suspects were involved, and at least one suspect was believed to have fled east on foot down 18th Street. Footage of the crime scene via Citizen shows the intersection taped off and surrounded by several police vehicles.<\/p>\n

Per Mission Local, the victim ran into Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth (HOMEY), a youth center at 2221 Mission Street, where youth staff administered first aid. While the youth wasn\u2019t involved with HOMEY, he reportedly knew participants in the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe youth team kept him alive until the ambulance came,\u201d said HOMEY\u2019s executive director, Roberto Eligio Alfaro, speaking to Mission Local.<\/p>\n
