San Francisco police Friday released the name of the officer who shot and killed a burglary suspect near AT&T Park on Tuesday night.
Police said Officer David Goff, a six-year police department veteran, was the officer who fatally shot 26-year-old Oshaine Evans of Oakland.
Police said officers assigned to monitor area around the ballpark as the San Francisco Giants' playoff game wound down around 9 p.m. Tuesday noticed a suspicious car that appeared to be casing other vehicles.
Officers saw the suspects exit the car and break into a Mercedes SUV parked on Jack London Alley near Bryant Street, according to police.
