SAN FRANCISCO—Two men were shot in a vehicle while driving on Interstate 280 near Highway 101 around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, says the San Francisco Police Department.
The suspects, only identified as “black males,” fled the scene on the Southbound 101 connector ramp, said SFPD Public Information Officer Albie Esparza. Authorities have not yet obtained the description of the getaway vehicle.
