Fair Ave Shooting
Monday, Nov 3rd, 8:20 pm
First block of Fair St (near Mission). Homicide
Officers responded on the call of shots fired and found one man with a gunshot wound outside a home and another man down inside a home with gunshot wounds. The second man was declared dead and the first man's wound was not life threatening. Inspector Cagney, Homicide Detail, took over the case.
At first, Police said two suspects wearing black clothing were responsible for the shootings, but today it was reported that an arrest had been made and murdered victim identified as 36-year-old Marine veteran and Purple Heart recipient John P. Rogers. Max Reyes, 24, of San Francisco, was arrested in connection with the murder.
A followup article in the Chron/SFGate said:
Nothing about the motive has been stated. It would be really helpful if we knew a bit more about this crime, what happened to the other victim who was found in front of the house (and whose name has not been released yet).
A couple other links about this story: SF Examiner's detailed early report, followed by a very short article on SF Gate, the original Bay City News service wire story ran on CBS 5 and KTVU.

A followup article in the Chron/SFGate said:
Lt. Jim Spillane of the homicide detail said the fatally injured victim lived in a three-bedroom unit and was shot in the hallway.
"It did appear that he was targeted - they were looking for him," Spillane said. "It is a possibility that they had known each other."
