A suspect has been arrested in the killing of a man who was shot while hanging out with friends in the home he shared with his parents in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights, police and a relative of the victim said Tuesday.
The man was shot in the head at the home on the 400 block of Franconia Street, just west of Highway 101, shortly before 9:40 p.m. Monday, police said. He died at the scene.
A family member identified the victim as Richard Ray Fowler Jr., 28. Police said the murder suspect was 34-year-old Anthony Wright, who lives in San Francisco.
Fowler was playing video games with two friends when the suspect arrived, said Daniel Martinez, 48, Fowler’s half-brother.
All three men knew the suspect, who shortly after arriving drew a gun and indicated he was there to settle a score, Martinez said. The half-brother was not in the home at the time but said he had spoken to witnesses.
The gunman fired one shot, which struck Fowler in the head, Martinez said. Fowler’s parents were upstairs at the time.
Apprarently, Wright, the suspect, lived on Holladay.
