Adding to a violent weekend in the Bay Area, San Francisco Police are investigating a death near Mission and 16th Streets as a homicide, after a woman was reportedly found stabbed to death on Friday.

Fire fighters responding to reports of a dead body on the 2000 block of Mission Street between 16th and 17th Streets found the victim, later identified as 59-year-old Yvonne Barillas. The medical examiner's office ruled the death a homicide after finding a stab wound on her body. The death marks San Francisco's 10th homicide for the year.

Other than the information from the medical examiner's office, details from SFPD are scarce and police have not released what time the report came in. Calls to the media relations unit were not immediately returned Monday.

In the meantime, anyone who may have any information about Friday's stabbing should call the SFPD's homicide detail at (415) 553-1145, leave an anonymous on the tip line
at (415) 575-4444 or via text to TIP411 with "SFPD" in the message.

We'll update as we know more.
