UPDATE 11 a.m.: Capp Street Crap reader Josh tells me he was on his way to eat at Burma Love when police stopped him outside the police tape. He said he counted 10 police cars and six officers near the door of the restaurant.
The Valencia Street shooting was one of two homicides on Thursday. According to police, a 39-year-old man was killed and a 41-year-old woman injured in a shooting on the 200 block of Golden Gate Avenue at around 5:15 p.m.
ORIGINAL POST: A 38-year-old man is dead following a shooting on Valencia Street Thursday evening, police said.
The unidentified victim was found with a gunshot wound on the 200 block of Valencia Street just before 6:30 p.m., according to San Francisco Police spokesman Robert Rueca. He was taken to an area hospital but was dead on arrival.
Police are looking for a 35-year-old suspect in the killing but as of this morning had made no arrests, Rueca said.
The 200 block of Valencia, between Duboce Avenue and Clinton Park, remained taped off for more than a hour Thursday night. The block is home to Burma Love and Fred’s Liquor, among other businesses.
