The San Francisco Police Department has made an arrest in a case that has lingered in the city's collective memory since 2024, when a shooting in the Mission District resulted in the death of Keith Albert, a 32-year-old man who used a wheelchair. The arrest was confirmed by SFPD on August 5, when they responded to a report of an assault with a firearm near 20th and Shotwell Streets. Despite immediate efforts to render aid, Albert was pronounced deceased at the scene. According to the SFPD's statement, the investigation led by the SFPD Homicide Detail has resulted in the apprehension of Darryon Harry Chun, a 28-year-old male.
Chun was taken into custody by SFPD SWAT members on January 23, when they served search warrants on properties in both San Francisco and Daly City. Despite having made an arrest, SFPD insists the case remains open and is actively seeking additional information from the public. The details surrounding the case, and any progress in the investigation, have yet to fully come to light, raising questions within the community about the circumstances leading up to the fatal event.
