The Examiner reports that the man, who was taken to SF General Hospital and died of his injuries, was identified as 25-year-old Joshua Smith. Smith is suspected of being the "Gen X Bandit" (so-called because of his distinctive plaid shirt and stocking cap) who robbed two Irvine banks on May 17. As if that weren't enough action, SF Appeal now reports that a partially burned body was discovered on the same block early this morning. At 4:39am, emergency crews responded to a small brush fire at Buena Vista Avenue East and Haight. While clearing the fire, an already-dead body was discovered. Police are considering the death suspicious, and homicide and arson investigators are on the case. We'll keep you posted on any developments. In the meantime, call the SFPD’s anonymous tip line at 415-575-4444 if you have any information. Hang in there, Buena Vista Park!
