The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that police found a body in a car at 17th Street and Treat Avenue.
Campers and other vehicles parking for more than a day can often be found on Treat Avenue between 17th and 16th streets. It is unclear if the body was found in one of these vehicles.
The original Mission District police station is on 17th Street, one building west of Treat Avenue. Nowadays, prostitutes often hang out on the northeast corner waiting for customers to pull over.
Founder/Executive Editor. 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.
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.

There were also a lot of cars parked along that street. Do people live there? They said that they didn’t know whether the body was a man or a woman, but it looked kind of heavy, so I was thinking a man, but does anyone know whether it was a man or woman?
Hi,
I saw the police hauling this body out of this black car at 17th and Mission Streets on Saturday. Ew. Does anyone know what had happened with it?
