San Francisco police today announced the arrest of a suspect in an August fatal shooting in the city’s Visitacion Valley neighborhood.
Zuri Wilson, 36, of San Francisco, was arrested Oct. 4 in San Pablo on suspicion of killing 34-year-old Shawnte Otis on Aug. 23 in the 100 block of Blythedale Avenue, police spokeswoman Sgt. Danielle Newman said.
Otis was sitting in a car when two suspects approached and opened fire. He was hit by the gunfire and was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 with “SFPD” in the message.
