Sneed’s car then crashed into a parked car. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital where where he succumbed to his injuries just three hours later, police said.
A 37-year-old SF woman identified by SFPD as Lupe Mercado and a 38-year-old SF man identified as Barry Gilton were booked into jail on suspicion of murder on Saturday, according to police. The Ex notes that police have yet to release a motive for the killing.
