Late this morning, a shooting outside of a Potrero Hill public-housing complex  left one person dead and two wounded. 

Officers responded to a report of gunshot wounds at the Potrero Terrace and Annex complex at 25th and Dakota streets at approximately 10:04 a.m. There, they found two victims suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, and called paramedics to the scene. 

Paramedics declared one person dead on the scene, and took the other, described as having “life-threatening injuries,” to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. 

Officers later learned that a third victim, a minor, had been transported to San Francisco General before they arrived. That juvenile had not been shot, SFPD wrote in a press release, and was described as having superficial injuries. 

By early Friday afternoon, no arrests had yet been made. 

This is the eighth homicide in San Francisco so far this year, according to police crime data, and the third involving a firearm. This is a significant uptick in the number of homicides committed in the first two months of the year in 2025, which marked a record low. 

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available. Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 1-415-575-4444 or Text-A-Tip to TIP411, beginning your message with “SFPD”.
