San Francisco, CA – San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced today that her office secured a conviction of Irvin Hernandez-Flores (27), after a trial by jury for a 2022 double murder in the Bayview. Mr. Hernandez-Flores was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder each with allegations of personal use of a firearm causing death found true. He was also convicted of child abuse with an allegation that he personally used a firearm found true by the jury.
“I would like to thank the jury for their service in this trial,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. “This horrific crime left a young woman without her parents and rocked a community. Our homicide unit works tirelessly each and every day to bring justice and accountability in these cases, and this verdict affirms that our continued efforts yield the results that our victims deserve.”
According to testimony and other evidence presented at trial, on August 13, 2022, Mr. Hernandez-Flores drove to his father and stepmother’s house shortly after 2:30 in the morning. He scaled a locked security fence to the property and then broke into the residence where his father, stepmother, and younger sister lived.
Once inside, Mr. Hernandez-Flores opened fire on his father, hitting him five times, killing him. Mr. Hernandez-Flores then turned the firearm toward his stepmother, and shot her six times. She died later that day in the hospital.
The case against Mr. Hernandez-Flores was successfully prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney John Roman, with assistance from paralegal intern Ava Leraris and IT support from Noaeh Pinaire. Victim Advocate Maria Reynoso worked closely with the victim’s family through the pendency of this case. Prosecutors were able to develop a strong case against Mr. Hernandez-Flores based upon the San Francisco Police Department’s Homicide Unit’s thorough investigation and assistance.
“No child should have to witness the murder of her parents like the victim did in this tragic case,” said Assistant District Attorney John Roman. “The jury, after careful consideration, returned verdicts that will ensure Mr. Hernandez Flores is held accountable for his depraved conduct.”
Mr. Hernandez-Flores is currently in custody. Sentencing will be scheduled at a hearing on February 27, 2026.
