Carjacking leads to fatal officer-involved shooting
On December 1st at 10:30 am, police responded to a call regarding a carjacking at 1800 23rd Street.
The suspect, 42-year-old Keita "Iggy" O’Neil, grabbed a set of keys from a woman driving a California State Lottery van who was in the process of delivering tickets to local businesses.
O’Neil entered the van and headed to Highway 101 where he eventually was spotted caravanning with a gold SUV by SFPD. Both vehicles exited the freeway onto city streets, where police stopped the SUV and detained the suspects and O’Neil continued to flee.
As he approached the intersection of Fitzgerald Avenue and Griffith Street, O‘Neil slowed the vehicle and exited the driver's door, while the van continued to roll forward and struck a fence.
According to SFPD’s report and a surveillance video, O’Neil then ran “towards the direction of the police car near the passenger's door,” when he was shot by Christopher Samayoa, a rookie officer with four days on the job.
O’Neil was taken to Zuckerberg General Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, and his mother has filed a wrongful death suit against the city.
