URGENT UPDATE: Three young men have been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred on July 3 near Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) confirmed the arrests as part of their ongoing investigation into the tragic incident.
The arrests were made following a tactical SWAT operation on October 24, where officers executed a search warrant at a residence on the 2500 block of Wallace Street in Oakland. Authorities apprehended two suspects: 19-year-old Jeremiah Neal and 20-year-old Elijah Silver. Both have been charged with murder.
A third suspect, 22-year-old Jesus Gabriel Cendejas of San Francisco, was arrested separately at a residence on the 600 block of Francisco Street in San Francisco. He was also booked on a murder charge, and police reportedly discovered a firearm during the search.
The victim, who remains unidentified, was gravely injured during the shooting and succumbed to his injuries on July 8. This incident has shocked the local community, raising concerns about safety in the area, known for its bustling tourism and vibrant culture.
In a surprising twist, the SFPD revealed that a fourth suspect, whom they believe was involved in this homicide, was himself a victim of a homicide in San Francisco in September. This connection adds a layer of complexity to the investigation.
Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact the SFPD tip line at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411, starting the message with “SFPD.” Tipsters can remain anonymous.
As of now, San Francisco is on track to record its lowest homicide rate since 1954, with only 22 homicides reported so far in 2025. This statistic underscores the city’s ongoing efforts to enhance public safety, even amid this distressing incident.
