Man shot dead near Bayview homeless shelter identified

The San Francisco medical examiner’s office has identified a man killed in a Tuesday night shooting in the city’s Bayview District as 44-year-old Eric Wilson.

The shooting, reported around 11 p.m. in the 2100 block of Jennings Street, also injured another man. That victim, 35, suffered injuries not considered life-threatening, police said.

At the scene, medical crews pronounced Wilson dead.

The shooting happened just near the United Council of Human Services, a homeless shelter and service center.

Although police have released few details surrounding the deadly shooting, the suspect was described as a male driving a sedan-type vehicle. Wilson’s death is the third homicide to occur in the city since Sunday.

On Sunday, 20-year-old Richard Ponce died in the city’s Yerba Buena neighborhood following a shooting, reported around 12:45 a.m. Then on Monday, a shooting reported around 12:10 a.m. in the city’s Mission District killed 15-year-old Day’von Hann.

In all three homicides, no arrests have been made, according to police.
