San Francisco police officers are searching for a suspect after a man was shot and killed Friday morning outside the Alemany public housing complex on the south side of Bernal Heights.
At 6:56 a.m., according to the San Francisco Police Department, officers with the Ingleside Station were called out to the 900 block of Ellsworth Street by Highway 280, where Ellsworth winds its way through the 151-unit Alemany complex.
When they arrived, they found “an adult male with gunshot wounds laying on the ground,” the department said. Once paramedics arrived, the victim was pronounced dead on the scene.
The shooting is being investigated by the homicide unit, and no arrests have been made. It would be San Francisco’s third homicide of the year.
The Alemany complex was once a project known as “the Black Hole” operated by the San Francisco Housing Authority. It was originally built in the 1950s, but redeveloped and transferred to nonprofit management in 2021. All of San Francisco’s public housing stock has been or is in the process of being shifted to nonprofit hands.
