Manhunt for Sunset Pizza Shooter

jason.jpgThe shooting that claimed the lives of two men on Saturday--Daly City resident Jason de la Cruz, 31, and San Francisco resident Derek Butch, 23--was all due to a squabble over free food at Irving Pizza, it seems. Del la Cruz, at right, father of three and a successful Verizon Wireless store manger, was taking his employees out to show "his appreciation for a successful sales month." Jason offered up free pizza to his sales team, heated words were exchanged with a "drunk" customer who wanted in on the pizza bounty de la Cruz was handing out, and then later that night, De la Cruz and Butch were shot and killed a few blocks away.

Oh, and there's a description of the murder suspect:

The shooter was described by police as an Asian male in his 20s of thin build, with short dark hair that is spiky in front and wearing an orange San Francisco Giants jacket and blue jeans. He fled south on 19th Avenue, according to police. The suspect's vehicle was described as a mid-90s, dark blue, two-door car that resembled an Acura Integra or a Honda Civic, police said.

This doesn't do much to narrow it down since that could be anyone at a Giants game, but there you have it. Our hearts go out to the victims' families. For reals.
