A San Francisco man has been charged with murder in connection with a fatal 2024 shooting in the Mission District involving an alleged ghost gun, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced Friday.<\/p>\n
Darryon Harry Chun, 28, faces one count of murder, and prosecutors allege he used a privately manufactured Sig Sauer P320 in the killing, according to a statement from the district attorney’s office. <\/p>\n
Chun is also charged with resisting an executive officer while allegedly armed with a firearm, possession of an assault weapon and possession of a pistol without a proper identification mark, the statement says.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened at about 5 a.m. on Aug. 4, 2024 near 20th and Shotwell streets. Prosecutors allege that Chun shot a man in a wheelchair once in the back of the head, killing him.<\/p>\n
Investigators later recovered surveillance footage that allegedly shows two men approaching Chun before he pulls a gun out and points it at them, authorities said. In the video, one witness can be seen running away, while the victim attempted to escape in his wheelchair, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
The video allegedly shows the moment Chun approaches the victim before a gunshot is heard off-camera, prosecutors said. <\/p>\n
San Francisco police identified Chun as the suspect and obtained search and arrest warrants.<\/p>\n
After a police tactical unit announced their presence outside Chun’s residence, he allegedly ran out of the back of the building while armed with a long gun, with his escape attempt captured by a police drone, authorities said.<\/p>\n
After arresting him, investigators found the Sig Sauer believed to be used in the murder and an illegal kinetic Development Group AR-15-style assault rifle in his residence.<\/p>\n
Chun is scheduled to be arraigned at San Francisco’s Hall of Justice on May 28 at 1:30 p.m. Prosecutors plan to ask the arraignment judge to keep Chun jailed without bail and argue that he poses a public safety risk, Jenkins said.<\/p>\n
The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the San Francisco Police Department at 415-575-4444.<\/p>\n
