Yesterday morning at approximately 10:40 am, Taraval officers responded to Plymouth Avenue and Broad Street on calls of shots fired. Officers arrived on scene and located three victims who had sustained gunshot wounds. Tragically, one of the victims lost their life as a result of the shooting. The other two victims sustained non-life threatening injuries. Officers immediately began to secure the scene and canvass the neighborhood for witnesses and evidence. We understand the serious impact violence has on a community and the incidents of violence in this neighborhood continues to be a priority for us.
This morning, the officers of Taraval Station, went door to door in the neighborhood to speak with our residents. It is vital for us to engage with the community. Through discussions, we are able to share our action plan that will address reduction of violence. It allows community members the opportunity to speak with us one on one and allows us to continue to canvass the neighborhood for investigative leads that may lead to the apprehension of the suspect. Today, I met with many community members to listen to their concerns. As the Commanding Officer of Taraval, I have identified strategies to address the recent violence but I believe it is important that the community know that I value their input on addressing safety in their neighborhood. The officers of Taraval Station are committed to consistently maintaining a high visible presence in the OMI neighborhood.
I know many of you have questions and I will supply information to you as best as I can without jeopardizing the investigation of the incident or jeopardizing the possible prosecution of suspects. With that said, I would encourage you to please contact me at Taraval station or via email to discuss with me your concerns.
On Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at 6:30pm a public safety town hall meeting will be held to meet with community members. The meeting will be held at the Minnie Lovie Rec Center. Board of Supervisor Ahsha Safai, SFPD Asst. Chief Chaplin, and I will be available to listen to the community and discuss strategies to strengthen safety within the OMI community. I look forward to the discussion and hope many of you will be able to join us.
In closing, anyone with information on this case please contact the San Francisco Police Department anonymously at (415)575-4444 or text-a-tip to TIP411 and begin text message with SFPD.
昨日上午約10時40分，Taraval警員接報有開槍案發生，於是趕往Plymouth及Broad街交界，警員到達現場時發現3名受害人均受槍傷。很不幸，其中一名受害人傷重死亡，其餘兩人則沒有生命危險。警員立即封鎖現場及尋求目擊證人及採集證據。我們明白這宗嚴重暴力案件對社區造成的衝擊，而在這個鄰區的暴力案件一直是我們要優先處理事項。
今日上午，Taraval警察分局警員挨家挨戶與鄰居傾談，對我們來說，與社區互動至為重要。透過討論，我們可以告之鄰居我們打擊暴力的應對方法，也可以讓社區成員面對面告訴我們資料，幫助我們調查及將兇徒繩之於法。
今日，我見過很多社區成員及聆聽他們的關注，作為Taraval警察分局的指揮官，我已定下了應付近期暴力案件的對策，但我希望社區知道我是重視他們對維護安全社區提出的意見，Taraval警察分局警員承諾讓人在OMI社區經常見到高度警力。
我明白你們當中很多人都有疑問，我會盡我所能在不妨礙調查及不妨起訴疑犯情況下提供訊息給大家。我鼓勵及請大家聯繫我或電郵我，與我討論你的關注問題。
