Other than the shootout on Capp Street near 24th early Friday evening, the allegedly drunk driver hitting a pedestrian later that evening and the discovery Saturday of a dead body on 17th and Treat, the weekend was fairly quiet, according to police reports.

On Sunday at 9:51 p.m., it took five men to get one gold chain.

A 28-year-old victim was walking near Folsom and 24th streets when he was jumped by five suspects in their 20s, according to the police report.

One of the suspects yanked the gold chain off the victim and all five fled in an unknown direction. The victim sustained minor injuries.

On Friday at 11:23 p.m. a 38-year-old man was walking on Harrison Street near 14th Street when two suspects approached him, knocked him to the ground and took his cell phone, according to the police report.

The suspects — in their 20s — fled south on Harrison Street. The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at San Francisco General Hospital.

A couple of hours later on Bryant near 26th Street, two young men got into an argument over a transaction. The 22-year-old pulled out a knife and stabbed the 25-year-old in the arm.

The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries while the suspect fled on foot. No arrests have been made.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
