Drive-by shooting at Sussex and Diamond leaves one man with non-life-threatening injuries

December 6, 2020 by Elizabeth Weise

Police respond to a shooting at Diamond and Sussex Streets in Glen Park on Dec. 6, 2020.

A mid-afternoon drive-by shooting on Sunday in Glen Park left a man with non-life-threatening injuries and Diamond street blocked for several hours as police investigated.

Officers arrived on the scene and found an adult male victim suffering from a gunshot wound, police said. The victim was transported to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. No further information about the victim’s condition was available.

The incident began at 2:58 pm on Dec. 6 when Ingleside Station police officers responded to Diamond and Sussex Streets for multiple ShotSpotter gunshot detection system activations, a San Francisco Police public relations told the Glen Park News via email.

Randy Wonzer was out for a walk with his wife on Castro at the other end of Sussex when they heard what they thought might be the sound of gunfire Sunday afternoon.

They were debating if it had been fireworks or gunfire when “we saw the grey Infiniti scream by us on Castro street at 60mph or so, then turn right on Chenery toward Diamond,” he told the Glen Park News.

He said a neighbor saw the Infiniti jockey aggressively around a white car coming the opposite direction up Sussex , a street that is too narrow for two cars to pass side-by-side

Between ten and 15 shots were fired, people who heard the shooting said.

A Sussex street resident interviewed by the News said he heard five shots in rapid succession and then another burst. “It was a while, maybe ten minutes, before I heard an ambulance,” said the man, who asked not to be named.

According to the website Citizen, police were searching for a four-door grey Infinity in connection with the event.

Reports on NextDoor said that a weapon was left at the corner of Diamond and Sussex. One person drove away in that gray Infiniti, came back a few minutes later followed by police.  They stopped at the intersection and appeared hurt. Police provided immediate assistance, the report said.

Multiple police cars were on the scene Sunday and Diamond street was blocked off between Surrey and Sussex for several hours.

The investigation is open and active, police said. If you have more information about the shooting, please contact the San Francisco Police.
On Monday several neighbors were looking at bullet holes in a home and car on Sussex.
Surprisingly, there has been nothing in the local news about the incident. The Glen Park News has reached out to Supervisor Mandleman’s office to try to get more information.

Saturday’s Glen Park Greenway Work Party is Cancelled.

“I’m very sorry to say that
we have cancelled our Work Party for this Saturday July 12, along with all organized volunteer activity on the Greenway until further notice.
As you may have read in the news, our fiscal sponsor, San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA), has shut itself down. Just as SFPA has shut itself down, the Greenway, as an organized part of SFPA, has also been “shut down.” We are busy looking for a suitable alternative fiscal sponsor that is willing to replace SFPA. That search is going well but it is a slow process. We had hoped to find temporary ways to enable the Greenway project to function responsibly as a community activity without a fiscal sponsor. Sadly, despite our best efforts and the help of many others in Glen Park, we have failed. That is why we must cancel our Saturday Work Party and discontinue future work parties and other organized volunteer activity on the Greenway (like weeding and watering) until further notice. We recognize that the Greenway is public open space and that the organizers of the Greenway project have no control over the activities of you or of anyone else on the Greenway. However, if you do venture onto the Greenway to satisfy your urge for outdoor recreation, please be aware that your activity is not in any way organized or sanctioned by the organizers of the Glen Park Greenway project. I’m well aware of the efforts that many of the
Greenway’s supporters are making to get the Greenway organized with a new fiscal sponsor and I’m confident that this will be arranged within weeks or perhaps a few months.
However long it takes, I will contact you with news of our progress.
Many thanks for all that you do for the Greenway.”

Nicholas Dewar, volunteer Project Director

Wonder what’s stopping just organizing it separate from that non-profit. It seems like the volunteers largely come from Glen Park.
