San Francisco: Arrests made in fatal shooting over the summer

SAN FRANCISCO – Police on Friday arrested a pair of Oakland residents and a San Francisco man in connection with a fatal shooting over the summer in San Francisco.

The shooting happened around 2:20 a.m. on July 3 at the intersection of Powell and Vandewater streets, according to the San Francisco Police Department. The adult male victim was taken to an area hospital, where he died from his injuries on July 8.

Two suspects were identified as Jeremiah Neal, 19, and Elijah Silver, 20, both of Oakland. Police identified a third suspect as Jesus Gabriel Cendejas, 22, of San Francisco.

All three were arrested Friday, Neal and Silver in the 2500 block of Wallace Street in Oakland and Gabriel Cendejas in the 600 block of San Francisco Street in San Francisco.

Investigators seized a firearm while searching Gabriel Cendejas’ residence, police said.

They were all booked into jail on murder charges.

A fourth suspect believed to be involved in the fatal shooting was the victim of a homicide last month in San Francisco, police said.

While arrests have been made, the investigation remains “open and active,” police said.
