Homicide in Glen Canyon Park this morning, May 25

May 26, 2020 by Bonnee Waldstein

We’ve received confirmation from Captain Woon of Ingleside Station of a homicide in the park this morning.  Here is the press release — note the appeal to contact the tip line if you have any information.

On Monday, May 25, 2020 at approximately 8:15 AM, San Francisco Police officers from Ingleside Station responded to the unit block of Elk Street in regards to an assault.  Upon arrival officers found the victim, a 94 year-old male, suffering from a head injury.  The victim was taken to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.  
 
Officers on scene broadcast the suspect description via their police radio.  Two SFPD sergeants were patrolling the area of Diamond and Bosworth Streets when they observed a male subject matching the description provided by officers at the scene.  The sergeants detained the suspect without incident.  The suspect has been identified as 53 year-old Peter Rocha of San Francisco.  Rocha was booked at San Francisco County Jail on charges of homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, and elder abuse.  
 
The SFPD Homicide Detail is conducting the investigation.  Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the SFPD tip line at 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD.  You may remain anonymous.
