A man was shot near 15th and Mission streets just after 10 p.m. on Monday night. San Francisco police officers arrived to find him laying on the sidewalk.

Paramedics treated the victim’s wounds and transported him to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, the San Francisco Police Department said. No arrests have been made. 

Earlier that evening, around 7 p.m., a 31-year-old man was stabbed “between his butt cheeks and in his right butt cheek” by an unknown assailant on the 2300 block of Folsom Street, a source told Mission Local. The attack was purportedly unprovoked, and the victim did not cooperate with law enforcement.

The suspect was last seen fleeing on foot, northbound on Folsom Street towards 19th Street, SFPD said. The victim’s stab wound was not life threatening.

At 7:45 p.m. last night, police tape was still in place across the eastern side of Folsom Street between 20th and 21st streets. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.

  1. Has Jackie Fielder chimed in on this or still focused on issues not related to the Mission and well-being of her constituents?
