Man charged in SF Tenderloin murder after person found fatally shot in car, police say

SAN FRANCISCO -- A 49-year-old man has been charged with murder for a fatal shooting in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood earlier this week, prosecutors said Friday.

Deon Jackson pleaded not guilty to all charges against him in connection with the shooting reported shortly after 6 a.m. Tuesday in the 100 block of Turk Street, where officers arrived to find a man sitting in a car and suffering from a gunshot wound, according to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene and his name was not immediately available.

Investigators found surveillance footage showing Jackson and two other people looking into the victim's car before Jackson allegedly pulled out a firearm, opened the front passenger door and shot inside the vehicle, prosecutors said.

Jackson was seen on the footage allegedly fleeing from the scene on a black scooter while someone else removed items from the vehicle. Jackson was taken into custody in the 300 block of Taylor Street less than two hours after the shooting, according to the District Attorney's Office.

Jackson at his arraignment Thursday entered not guilty pleas to a murder charge with special allegations that he used a firearm and that the murder was committed during the commission of a robbery. He is also charged with two counts of firing at an occupied vehicle, two counts of robbery, and two counts of possession of an assault weapon, prosecutors said.

Jackson remains in custody on no bail status and is set to return to court next on Dec. 18.
