Darryon Chun Arrested After SWAT Raids in 2024 Mission District Fatal Shooting

San Francisco police arrest 28-year-old Darryon Harry Chun in connection with a fatal shooting that killed a person near 20th and Shotwell in the Mission District in August 2024. The arrest was carried out today as SWAT units executed search warrants at two locations, one in the Outer Sunset and one in Daly City, and Chun was booked into San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of murder.

The original incident began as a reported physical altercation in August 2024 in the vicinity of 20th Street and Shotwell Street. Officers responded to the scene and found a victim suffering a gunshot wound; the person later died at the scene. The case was assigned to the SFPD homicide detail, which has continued the investigation since the shooting.

Today's enforcement activity involved coordinated warrants and the deployment of specialized units across city lines, reflecting the investigative follow-up on leads developed over the past 18 months. The use of SWAT and searches outside the Mission - including Daly City and the Outer Sunset - underscores how homicide probes can require activity across multiple neighborhoods. Chun is being held on suspicion of murder while the homicide detail completes its work and prepares investigative materials for the District Attorney's office.

The arrest carries direct significance for residents of the Mission District, the Outer Sunset, and Daly City. For neighbors near 20th and Shotwell, the move may provide a measure of closure after a violent incident that left a person dead and raised fears about public safety around a busy corridor. For communities where warrants were executed, the raids highlight tensions that can arise when law enforcement uses tactical units in residential areas. Community leaders and neighborhood groups often weigh public safety needs against questions about transparency, use-of-force policy, and communication from police during operations - issues that typically surface after high-profile arrests and SWAT activity.

Institutionally, the case demonstrates how homicide investigations rely on sustained detective work, interagency cooperation, and search warrants to develop prosecutable cases. The SFPD homicide detail is leading the investigation and has asked anyone with information to contact its tip lines. Public information from the police will be a central element for residents seeking clarity about evidence, charges, and next steps.

What comes next is the transition from investigation to the criminal justice process. Chun remains in custody on suspicion of murder as the SFPD compiles its case for prosecutors. Neighbors and people with information about the August 2024 shooting are encouraged to contact the SFPD homicide tip lines to assist the inquiry. The arrest closes one chapter for the mission community and opens another as the courts and law enforcement work through prosecution, evidence disclosure, and community questions about safety and policing.
