Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Decade-Long Murder Case In SF Sees Renewed Push To Find Suspect (patch.com) — San Francisco police are renewing their appeal for help solving the 2016 shooting death of Mitchell Warren in the Tenderloin, where he was found wounded on Ellis Street and later died at San Francisco General Hospital. Investigators have surveillance images of the suspect riding on bicycle handlebars and are offering a $150,000 reward for information leading to the person's identification, arrest and conviction.
2. 72-Year-Old Stabs Victim Outside Workplace In San Francisco: Police (patch.com) — San Francisco police arrested 72-year-old Larry McDougal after a stabbing outside a workplace that left a victim hospitalized with multiple wounds. Officers used an Automated License Plate Reader to locate his vehicle, conducted a high-risk stop, and are asking anyone with information about the San Francisco incident to contact the department, with anonymous tips accepted.
3. San Francisco Renter Offered Shocking Sum To Leave Her Apartment: Reports (patch.com) — A San Francisco renter is weighing a $35,000 offer from her landlord to break her lease and move out, a figure that aligns with typical tenant buyouts in the city. Her hesitation highlights how difficult it is to find new housing locally, where average rents now approach $4,850 a month.
4. Watch Live: Connie Chan, Scott Wiener Debate for SF Congressional Seat (kqed.org) — San Francisco voters can watch Supervisor Connie Chan and state Sen. Scott Wiener face off in a live KQED debate for Nancy Pelosi's longtime House seat, a rare truly competitive race. The event, livestreamed and later broadcast on radio, TV, and podcast, will tackle affordability, tech, immigration, foreign conflicts, and how San Francisco's voice is heard in Washington. Links to KQED's voter guide offer deeper background.
5. Golden Gate University in talks to buy Contemporary Jewish Museum building (sfstandard.com) — Golden Gate University is negotiating to buy the former Contemporary Jewish Museum building at 736 Mission Street as its new downtown campus, after selling its prior site. The deal is complicated by deed restrictions limiting the landmark to cultural or institutional uses, and comes as the museum struggles with debt and prolonged closure. City officials and brokers have yet to comment publicly on the talks.
