A San Francisco jury yesterday convicted Irvin Hernandez-Flores in a 2022 double murder that rocked the Bayview neighborhood, the District Attorney’s office announced. The verdict caps a multi-year criminal case that began when officers found two adults shot inside a home and, prosecutors say, a child in the room. The conviction closes the trial phase of a case that drew intense local attention after parts of the incident were reportedly recorded and shared online.
The DA’s office revealed the guilty verdict in a post on X and linked to a formal statement. In a post on the SF District Attorney's website, the office said prosecutors secured the conviction after a jury trial and directed readers to its full press release. That release, posted on the DA’s website, details the evidence presented at trial and thanks jurors and investigators for their work.

How authorities say the case unfolded
According to San Francisco police, officers responded in the early hours of Aug. 13, 2022, to the 1100 block of Ingerson Avenue, where they found a 47-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were taken to a local hospital and later died. Investigators detained a relative at the scene and later developed probable cause to book him on multiple felony counts, including homicide, burglary, and child endangerment, according to the department’s news release. The SFPD continues to list the 1100 block of Ingerson Avenue as the original scene in its case log.
What prosecutors argued at trial
At trial, prosecutors argued that the killings were premeditated and relied on witness testimony and digital evidence to lay out their theory of the case. Reporting at the time by the San Francisco Chronicle said prosecutors alleged the defendant live-streamed portions of the incident, and Spanish-language coverage by Univision reported that an 11-year-old child was present and witnessed the attack. Jurors weighed that evidence over the course of the trial before reaching their verdict on Monday.
What happens next
The DA’s announcement did not list a sentencing date for Hernandez-Flores. Sentencing in homicide convictions is handled by the court and can include lengthy prison terms, and the DA’s office says it will post scheduling and other case updates through its website and social channels.
Community reaction and context
The killings and the ensuing prosecution have remained a source of grief for relatives and neighbors since 2022, and local reporting has documented family pleas for justice and support for the child who witnessed the violence. Spanish-language outlets that covered the original arrest captured relatives’ accounts and the trauma the family has described following the killings.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the San Francisco Police Department tip line at 1-415-575-4444 or to text TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD, according to the police release. The DA’s office says it will provide further updates about court scheduling and sentencing on its website and social channels.
