The shooting occurred around 12:45 a.m., according to Robert Rueca, a spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department. The unidentified man was taken to the hospital but was dead on arrival.

A neighbor, who didn’t want to give his name, said the victim was shot just next to the Royal Cuckoo Market on 19th street. Nearby restaurant and dance club Bissap Baobab was closed at the time.

Still shaken this morning, the neighbor said he did not recognize the victim.

“I heard two shots [from] my room. I was lying down. I came out and there was a guy laying in a pool of blood,” he said.

“The cops came,” said the neighbor, who estimated police were on the scene until at least four or five in the morning. “It was insane.”

Police said the shooter was a man, but had no additional suspect information.
