Following last night's stab/shoot, this most recent incident happened this afternoon in the Mission. According to SFist reader choadrocker, there is"a shitload of blood in front of ritmo latino. this is noonish on friday. looks like another shooting or knifing..." Yikes. Stay tuned. Update 1: Another scene-of-the-crime photo waits after the jump. Update 2: Looks like City can add yet another murder to its growing list. According to SF Sgt. Neville Gittens, the victim......

Last night at Mission and 20th Streets, two people were stabbed and one was shot in the back WITH A BB GUN at around 6:15 p.m. At this time the condition of the victims isn't known. Dennis the Menace, or whoever else committed this brazen assault, is still on the at-large.......

BERNAL HEIGHTS EXCELSIOR, SUNDAY: After three people were shot in broad daylight at Maynard and Congdon streets, two of the gunshot victims died. It seems the men were driving southbound on Congdon Street at 3:10 p.m. yesterday when they encountered another car going northbound on the same street. A suspect in the second car then fired, shot three and killed two, and fled. No arrests have been made. Oh, and this brings the city's......

MISSION, SATURDAY: While driving along the Highway 101 exit at Mission and Duboce, with her twin toddlers in tow, 31-year-old Milika Fields was shot and killed this past Saturday night. At around 7:15 p.m., the fuzz found "a silver Mazda MPV minivan riddled with bullet holes and three victims with gunshot wounds," according to SFPD Sargent Neville Gittens. (Her 12-year-old son and brother were also hit, expected to live.) The incident is believed to......

Oh, the East Coast. It tickles us ever so. Last year Cornell University's Erin Geld wrote something or other about the Cosby's neighborhood as a bastion of coke-fueled cool, and all of the hipsters freaked the fuck out on her via the comment thread on a Gawker post. It seems that Geld trashed Brooklyn and its allegedly (un?)cool scene, so people went batshit. Or something like that. (Being a story about NYC and Ivy......

The Mission District's shooting fad sees no signs of slowing down. ...

Another fire hit the Mission District, but this time no one was displaced or injured. It seems that Giant's Jewelers on 24th Street (between South Van Ness and Capp, next to the Napper Tandy) caught fire. Photog Chris Brennan captured the awful brilliance of firefighters arriving at the scene, the welding of axes and ladders (just like they do in cartoons!), and virile men fighting the blaze. Fortunately, no one was hurt, save for some sparkling gems, but check out Brennan's superb shots of the fiery action....

photo credit: 37 °C Last night's four-alarm fire at Valencia and 25th/26th Streets roared for two long hours, brought the Dovre Club's St. Paddy's Day revelry to a halt, and left 59 people temporarily homeless. Over 130 firefighters were on the scene, and only two people suffered minor injuries. Whew. While the cause of the fire is still unknown and scared many Mission residents, it did bring out the inner photojournalist inside many of......

Three men were shot in the Mission early Sunday morning at Valencia and Tiffany streets. According to the Gate, one of the victims, Jimmy Durwin Gongora, died from gunshot-related wounds; the other two were transported to SF General Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Two unidentified men, it seems, shot the three victims. No arrests have been made.Three more guys, it seems, were also shot in the Mission on Saturday night, resulting in yet another death.......

All together now: We declare our right on this earth to park our cars within 50 feet of our favorite coffee shops, to be drivers, to be respected as drivers, on this earth, in the Mission, where we intend to find parking wherever we can by any means necessary....

While Oakland received tons of press over the weekend for its recent spate of murder, this Mission murder, which happened near 25th and South Van Ness (be careful, Phone Booth patrons!), went all but unnoticed. Around 6:45 p.m. last Friday, two men approached 21-year-old Jose Reynoso and shot him in the head and chest. He was taken to SF General Hospital where he died the following day. Police have "sketchy descriptions of the killers"......

It turns out that the man who was brutally gunned down in the Mission on Monday night recently ditched a witness protection program. Justin Lee, 40 - who was shot to death after being chased down on 26th and Mission Streets - just left the security of a safe house in another part of the state on the same day. Yikes. Going back a bit, it seems that in 2005 Lee had "taken the......

Egads. This one is almost out of a horror movie, except that it's, well, real. Last night San Francisco welcomed in another murder, this time at 26th Street and Mission a little before midnight. An eyewitness told police that a man being chased down 26th Street near Mission Street when he tripped and fell to the ground. The killer then caught up to the victim, shooting him several times. The murder suspect then fled......

This morning at around 3:20 a.m., smack-dab in our old neighborhood of 23rd Street and Treat, SFPD found four gunshot victims, one of whom was pronounced dead at SF General Hospital. "Police have no suspect information in that shooting." Yet. So start singing, witnesses. ...

So much to do, so much not to do. What's a girl to do? Well, here is just a smattering of what's going on tonight. (An aside, is there any reason to buy bags of fun-size candy anymore to hand out to costumed tykes? We haven't seen a trick-or-treater in ages. Sob.) -- Hellgate Halloween: Vice magazine (SF's no. 1 fan) is throwing a bash with a complimentary bar (!) and tunes by Chromeo......

It's a battle of the press releases! Watch yourselves, or you might get cut. Did anyone know about these free shuttles tomorrow night, over at the 16th Street/Mission station? We didn't. Not even the SFMTA site had info on it this morning, which we looked over for Halloween transportation info. Hmmm. Also, while we understand that closing 16th Street station will help hinder people outside the city from coming to the Castro (yet problematic......

Keeping some distance this week from his personal history-- it's better to forget-- SFist Nico goes rummaging through a red-lit version of Hell he really likes. Good Lord Almighty, we can barely remember anything. Maybe it's something in the food, maybe we're trying jam too much information into our tiny little brains, or, heaven forbid, we're just getting old, but whatever it is, we're pretty good at forgetting things: names, appointments, awesome bands from the......
