The 20-year-old victim of a shooting on Wednesday evening at 26th and Mission streets is “still in life-threatening condition,” at San Francisco General Hospital, said a spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department.

Police continue to search for the suspects who fled in a car, he said. The shooting occurred at 7:55 p.m.. The victim’s name has not been released. He was taken to the hospital by a friend, police reported today.

The victim was shot in the torso by a handgun, police said. After the incident, police asked for the surveillance tapes at the Stop and Shop Market.

At this time, SFPD is asking the public for help in locating the suspect(s). If you have any information on last night’s shooting, you can call 415-575-4444, or text TIP411, with “SFPD” at the beginning of the message.

  2. Yea, It’s sad how we can’t walk our own neighborhoods without looking over our shoulders, scare to get rob or shot at with these drive-by. What they need to do is enforced brighter lights in these dark areas, more patrolling instead of focusing on the bus stops and job opportunities for these young/felons instead of turning our backs on them because they are felons. Oh yeah, and just because because you look hispanic doesn’t mean your automatically in a gang or criminal, lets not be ignorant, just saying.

    1. Get out the mission if you don’t like it. The police’s job is to enforce laws not accommodate how you personally feel and kill hipsters and yuppies.

        1. By dictionary terms Police the civil force of a national or local government, responsible for the prevention and detection of crime and the maintenance of public order. Nothing about serving the community when was the last time you seen a cop feed the homeless…. never.
