11:45 AM: San Francisco police arrested a woman and are seeking a man in connection with a drug-related shooting in the city’s Bayview District on Tuesday evening, a police spokesman said today.
The shooting was reported at 7:14 p.m. in the 1900 block of Palou Avenue.
The 48-year-old victim got into a dispute with another man over drugs and was shot in the buttocks, leg and hand, police said. He is expected to survive.
The suspects fled, but officers pulled over a red, two-door vehicle about a block away and arrested 21-year-old Lakendra Deshay, police spokesman Officer Albie Esparza said. They also recovered a weapon from the vehicle.
The shooter is believed to be a 36-year-old man who remains at large. Esparza said he is known to police, but his name has not yet been released.
“We’re doing our best to locate him,” Esparza said.
Deshay was booked into jail on suspicion of attempted murder, conspiracy, weapons violations and an outstanding warrant, Esparza said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or send a tip by text message to TIP411 with “SFPD” in the message.
