Potrero Hill, San Francisco

A man was found shot in his car parked on the west side of 3rd, facing northbound. According to witnesses at the scene, they heard shots, then saw two cars at 25th and 3rd.  A black sedan sped south on third, but the other car drove north on the south bound lanes of 3rd, then crossed over the new light rail tracks to the north bound lanes.  Near 23rd, the car again crossed the street into the south bound lanes and came to a stop just north of 23rd on the south bound side.  The man was rushed to SFGH, but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the victim had an extensive narcotics history.
