Less than a week following a shooting incident on Pierce Street, San Francisco Police apprehended 26-year-old Marshawn Peters, the suspect in the non-fatal shooting of an adult male last week. According to a release from the San Francisco Police Department, officers found the victim last Friday afternoon with a gunshot wound, and Investigators from the Special Victims Unit managed to pin down Peters by the following day, securing an arrest warrant.
The operation leading to Peters' arrest was not the result of solitary police work but a coordinated effort involving citywide teams engaged in a comprehensive robbery and auto burglary abatement initiative. Peters, who had been under surveillance for several hours, traveled through various Bay Area cities before being detained in San Leandro last Saturday night. According to the SFPD, officers successfully closed in and made the arrest without incident.
Now facing several serious charges, including attempted homicide and illegal firearm possession, Peters finds himself detained in San Francisco County Jail. The incident, described by authorities, involved a concealed firearm and a subsequent threat with said weapon. Authorities have urged the public to step forward with any information that could assist the ongoing investigation.
The SFPD remains committed to transparency and community involvement, encouraging anyone with details about the crime to come forward. Individuals can contact the SFPD at 1-415-575-4444 or text TIP411 with the message starting with SFPD.
