From thesfnews.com:
SAN FRANCISCO—The San Francisco Police Department is seeking the public’s help to locate a homicide suspect involved in two shootings that occurred on May 15 at approximately 10:08 a.m. and 12:26 p.m.
Police responded to a 9-1-1 call regarding gunshots near 25th and Connecticut Streets. Officers located a 61-year-old victim suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the SFPD police report. Officers rendered aid and the victim was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to injuries sustained.
While officers were investigating the first incident, another report was made regarding gunshots on the unit block of Dakota Street at approximately 12:26 p.m. Officers responded to the report and located two male victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite efforts to save the 54-year-old male victim’s life, he succumbed to his injuries. The 49-year-old male victim is being treated at a local hospital for injuries sustained.
After taking details from both incidents, officers identified 32-year-old Robert Newt as the suspect involved in both shootings. There are two warrants for murder and one warrant for attempted murder for Newt’s arrest.
Newt is known to frequent the Bayview-Hunter’s Point area in San Francisco. He is to be considered armed and extremely dangerous, the SFPD reported.
Anyone with information of Newt’s location should not approach him and immediately call 9-1-1 providing location, clothing, and vehicle description. If you would like to send an anonymous tip contact the SFPD Tip Line at 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD.

Thoughts? As far as I can tell, Newt is still at large as of this posting date (May 24th, 2021), since this appears to have become a very controversial case in San Francisco. Newt was arrested on two separate shooting incidents but later released weeks before the alleged triple shooting and double homicide. The DA of San Francisco is being blamed by police for releasing Newt, while the DA is blaming the police for delays in forensic evidence testing as to why Newt was released. I am usually hesitant to criticize either side in these cases not because I'm afraid to share my opinion but because we sometimes work with them to help get justice but I have to not bite my tongue in this one and say this blame game isn't helpful on both sides and both the police and DA need to focus on catching Newt rather than arguing about whose fault it was for his release. Especially when in my opinion they both messed up. It's time to put the big boy pants on, step up for the victim's loved ones and locate Newt and get justice. Hopefully all will be forgiven and everyone will get along again once that happens.
