Just hours after San Francisco officials and advocates raised the alarm on Thursday on a recent spike in city homicides, a shooting in the Mission District left one person with life-threatening injuries, police said. 
The shooting occurred around 3 p.m, according to SFPD, near the busy intersection of 18th and Mission streets. 
After the shooting, the victim ran into the nearby office of the nonprofit organization HOMEY, where youth staff “kept him alive … until the ambulance came,” the organization’s executive director, Roberto Eligio Alfaro, told Mission Local. 
Police said they rendered aid before transporting the victim to a hospital. 
Officials said the investigation is ongoing and did not share any further details about what led up to the shooting or the status of the victim. 
The shooting came on the heels of a gathering in front of City Hall, during which community leaders and local government officials expressed concern that homicides are up by 250% from last year, when the city saw record lows. 
As of Thursday, San Francisco had documented 14 homicides in 2026, compared with just four by the same time in 2025. 
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins called it “a crisis point.” 
“It takes us as leaders, as community members, elected officials, school staff and employees, educators, you name it, coming together to signal to our young people, youth and young adults, that this is not the way,” she said at Thursday’s press conference. 
“This is not the answer.” 
In light of the surge of homicides, Rudy Corpuz Jr., founder and executive director of the nonprofit United Playaz, led the call for a 24-hour citywide ceasefire to begin Friday. 
“We have a lot of work to do, but for one day, y’all, in San Francisco, let’s sit on our hands,” Corpuz said at the event on Thursday. 
“This is just a call to action for everybody from all over the city, wherever you’re at, to stand on business.”
