Wheelchair Man Killed Fleeing SF Gunman

San Francisco prosecutors charged Darryon Harry Chun, 28, with murder on May 22 in the 2024 killing of Keith Albert, a 32-year-old wheelchair user who was shot in the Mission District, according to the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said the shooting happened near 20th and Shotwell streets at about 5 a.m. on August 4, 2024, and that surveillance video captured Albert trying to roll away. The district attorney’s office said Chun is also charged with firearm and weapons offenses, including possession of an assault weapon and possession of a pistol without a correct identification mark. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said Chun was scheduled to be arraigned on May 22 at 1:30 p.m. in the Hall of Justice. ### Who was the victim, and where was he killed? Keith Albert was identified by San Francisco police as a 32-year-old San Francisco resident who used a wheelchair. Police said he was shot and killed on the 3300 block of 20th Street in the Mission District at about 5 a.m. on August 5, 2024, and later posted a $50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect. (sfdistrictattorney.org) The district attorney’s office, in announcing the charge, described the shooting as taking place near the intersection of 20th Street and Shotwell Street at about 5 a.m. on August 4, 2024. The one-day discrepancy appears in the public accounts released by police and prosecutors; both agencies identify Albert as the victim and place the shooting at the same Mission District intersection. (sanfranciscopolice.org) ### What do prosecutors say the video shows? Court documents described by the district attorney’s office say two men approached Chun before he allegedly pulled a gun and pointed it at them. Prosecutors said one witness ran away and Albert “attempted to roll away but was unsuccessful.” They said the video then showed Chun rapidly approaching Albert before an out-of-frame gunshot was heard. (sfdistrictattorney.org) NBC Bay Area, citing prosecutors, reported that Albert was shot in the back of the head. The district attorney’s office said Chun allegedly shot the wheelchair-bound victim once in the back of the head, killing him. ### Why did charges come nearly two years later? (sfdistrictattorney.org) The San Francisco Police Department said homicide investigators identified Chun during the investigation and obtained arrest and search warrants that were served on January 23, 2026. Police said officers took Chun into custody on the 2500 block of 41st Avenue and booked him into San Francisco County Jail on a homicide charge, while noting that the case remained open and active. (sfdistrictattorney.org) The district attorney’s office announced the formal murder charge four months later, on May 22, 2026. Prosecutors did not detail in the charging release why the filing came after the January arrest, but they said the investigation remains active. (sanfranciscopolice.org) ### What other charges does Chun face? The May 22 charging announcement said Chun faces one count of murder under California Penal Code 187(a), with allegations that he used a firearm in the killing. Prosecutors also charged him with resisting an executive officer with an allegation that he was armed while resisting, possession of an assault weapon, and possession of a pistol without a correct identification mark. (sfdistrictattorney.org) Prosecutors said officers searching the residence after Chun’s arrest found an illegal Kinetic Development Group AR-15-style assault rifle and a privately manufactured Sig Sauer P320-style pistol, which the district attorney’s office described as a “ghost gun.” (sfdistrictattorney.org) ### What happens next in court? Brooke Jenkins said her office would seek to have Chun detained without bail because of what she called the public safety risk he poses. The case is listed under San Francisco court number 26011622, according to the district attorney’s office. (sfdistrictattorney.org) Anyone with information was asked by San Francisco police and prosecutors to contact the department’s tip line at 415-575-4444 or send a text to TIP411 beginning with “SFPD.” The district attorney’s office said the investigation remains active after the May 22 arraignment setting.
