The San Francisco Police Department is seeking a suspect in a silver SUV, after a man was fatally gunned down on Wednesday morning in the Bayview.

SFPD officers found 23-year-old German Blanco suffering from gunshot wounds on the 300 block of Paul Avenue, just west of Third Street, at 8:58 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to the SFPD.

Blanco was transported to San Francisco General, and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

According to police, a man in his mid-20s in a silver SUV is sough for questioning in the case. SFPD didn't have any additional details on suspects or a motive in the shooting, and no arrests have been made as of Thursday morning. As always, anyone with information on the case should call SFPD's anonymous tip line at 415-575-4444 or send a tip by text message to TIP411 with "SFPD" in the message.
