The San Francisco medical examiner's office identified 32-year-old Oakland resident Ajason Black as the victim of a fatal shooting Saturday night near San Francisco's Japan Center.

Initial reports indicated Black was shot at Geary Boulevard and Buchanan Street at about 10:15 p.m. before he ran across the street and collapsed, police said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Black's death was the first of two murders reported in San Francisco Saturday night.

About a half hour later, officers responded to the 1000 block of Connecticut Street in the city's Potrero Hill neighborhood on reports of a separate shooting, according to police.

Arriving officers found 41-year-old Victor Carson, a San Francisco resident, suffering a gunshot wound to his neck, police said.

Carson was taken to San Francisco General Hospital where he was pronounced dead just after 11 p.m., according to the medical examiner's office.
