Two people were shot near 16th and Valencia streets early Sunday morning, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

Both were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, and one died at the hospital.

Officers arrested a 23-year-old, Larry Hudgson Jr., as a suspect in the killing. He was booked into jail at 9:06 a.m. on Sunday morning on a murder charge without the possibility of bail, according to the sheriff’s booking logs.

Officers arrested Hudgson just hours after the shooting. San Francisco police officers were first dispatched to 16th Street between Mission and Valencia for a shooting at 12:25 a.m., the department said. Officers were told that “two subjects were on the ground following an altercation.”

The arriving officers found two people with gunshot wounds. They and paramedics rendered aid before both were taking to the hospital, where one of the victims was declared dead.

At the scene, officers found a firearm and “were advised that a possible suspect involved was located near Visitacion Valley,” the department wrote. They found Hudgson and arrested him “without further incident.”

  1. Too much frequent violence! Can sometimes hear gunshots sitting in my living room…

    D9 supervisor Fielder recently posted on her Instagram about how her campaign promise to clean up the urban decay e.g. filthy feces, and remove the concentration of crime and violence mostly perpetrated by the drug dealers –

    ‘public safety campaign promise: FULFILLED’. What alternative reality does she live in?

    We have repeatedly asked to meet with her and the mayor’s office and never hear back. Right around the corner from the BART plaza is Marshall elementary school and those kids experience all manner of issues jump over the feces, walk into street traffic because sidewalk to school is blocked by a Fentanyl user, trash etc. D9 supe and mayor’s office turn away from reality.

    – who the Mayor’s office shoved them here from Civic center and TL.

    1. So the Mayor’s office didn’t meet with you but it’s on Fielder somehow?

      These genius logicians are skipping some steps.

    2. A supervisor is not a police chief, a Mayor, or a panacea.

      They are legislators. This fact is lost on too many heads.

      1. Well, in that swimlane then: What legislation of hers has accomplished the fulfillment of her public safety campaign promise?

    3. ANOTHER Fielder stan. I’m noticing a pattern. Of trolls who don’t give a crap about a shooting but want to use it for boring trollspam politics.

      1. Fielder has made it clear that she is not a fan or friend of SFPD. Why would SFPD want to engage with someone who shows so much contempt for them? Sadly we who live here in D9 suffer with slow response time and lack of interest in cops patrolling the neighborhood. White vested people are not part of the solution but falls short of real policing.

  2. Will Fielder comment on this and the numerous other shootings in the Mission or is she still too worried about stray cats dying and making money off crypto?

      1. @NP if she rented my brain she might actually gain one in the process. It’s pretty amazing that asking the bare minimum of your elected representative (who promised to work on public safety no less) is met with weird comments around “angry old useless men” or “rent your brain”. How about asking her to do her job for once?

    1. It’s confusing to read articles, but this isn’t about Fielder.

      You have to READ them to know that. It’s unfair somehow.

  3. Failing to report here that it was a Waymo camera that captured this shooting and helped police catch the shooter within hours, taking a very dangerous person off the streets. Go Waymo!

  4. I live half a block from 16th and Valencia where I used to see some conflicts, but they have been noticeably less frequent the last few years.

      1. Considering this is the 4th shooting within a block of 16th & Mission in as many months, I would suggest that the math of people living in this area definitely adds up. August 18th. September 30th. October 17th. And now yesterday. Read the news.

        1. @Mission Almost Local – Oh my, yes, it “adds up.” But what sum does it add up to? How does that sum compare with, you know, other sums?

          Take all the time you need, I know that grade school arithmetic is so much more taxing on the mind than screaming short-attention-span anecdotes.

  5. This is a Mission Local headline from March 21, 2025: “Mayor Lurie promises 16th and Mission neighbors: Things will change”

    Has he visited 16th/Mission recently?
