Officers responded at 2:13 a.m. Sunday to a shooting reported in the area of 26th and Shotwell streets and found Ernesto Rosales, a 21-year-old San Francisco resident, suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest.
Rosales was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, police said.
Later Sunday morning, officers responded at about 11:25 a.m. to a shooting reported in the area of Third Street and Oakdale Avenue.
