One Dead, 2 Injured Following Shooting in San Francisco's Mission District

One man is dead and two are in the hospital following a shooting Thursday afternoon in San Francisco's Mission District, police and a spokesman for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital said.

Around 3:20 p.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 1400 block of Treat Avenue near Cesar Chavez Street, according to police spokesman Officer Joseph Tomlinson.

Hospital spokesman Brent Andrew said that doctors received three patients from the shooting and one died at about 4 p.m.

Later Thursday, the medical examiner identified the deceased as 21-year-old Jaime Poole. 

A witness at the hospital said the other two victims arrived at SF General in private vehicles. Enrique Barreto said one of the men had a gunshot wound to his chest.

"I think two parties; they came in different cars," Barreto said. "I think they (police) found weapons and stuff like that."

Gang intervention workers at the hospital confirmed there were weapons found in one of the vehicles. One man who was seen standing next to a black BMW SUV was detained by police, but it was unclear if he was involved in the shooting. 

All the victims are men in their 20s. One of the survivors is in critical condition and the other is in serious condition, Andrew said.
