 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) ― Police were investigating a shooting that left an 18-year-old man dead in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood Friday night.

Officers responded to the area of McAllister and Fillmore streets about 7:15 p.m. on reports of shots being fired, San Francisco police Sgt. Wilfred Williams said.

Upon arrival, officers found Joshua Cameron, who had been shot by an unknown man, who was possibly in his 20s. Cameron, 18, was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Williams said.

Cameron was walking southbound on Fillmore Street at McAllister with another person when they were approached by the suspect who began shooting at them, and Cameron was struck by gunfire.

Alan Pringle, the chief investigator at San Francisco medical examiner's office, said Cameron was a resident of the city.

Police were seeking the public's help Saturday in locating possible witnesses. Anyone with information could contact the homicide division at (415) 553-1145, or those who wished to remain anonymous could call (415) 575-4444.
