Man killed in Mission shooting

Good afternoon!

A man was killed early this morning in the Mission in a shooting that may have been related to a nearby liquor store robbery. A group of people tore off iron gates to break in to the corner store at 21st and South Van Ness, and the owner said the suspects later killed a man a few blocks away.

More soon,
