San Francisco, CA – Today, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama (20), of Houston, Texas, was charged with multiple felonies in connection to an attack on a residence in Russian Hill on April 10, 2026, and a business on the 1400 block of Third Street.

Mr. Moreno-Gama is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., at the Hall of Justice. The District Attorney’s Office will move to have Mr. Moreno-Gama held in custody pending trial without bail because of the public safety risk he poses.

In connection with the incident at the Russian Hill residence Mr. Moreno-Gama is charged with two counts of attempted murder (PC 664/187), with allegations that he personally used an incendiary destructive device in the commission of these crimes, attempted arson (PC 455a)), arson of a gate (PC 451(d)), possession of an incendiary device (PC 453(a)), possession of a destructive device in a public place (PC 18715(a)), possession of a destructive device or explosive with intent to injure a victim (PC 18740), and exploding or igniting a destructive device with intent to murder (PC 18745).

In connection with the incident at the business, Mr. Moreno-Gama is also charged with attempted criminal threats (PC 664/422), possession of a flammable or combustible substance (PC 453(a)), and the attempted arson of an occupied building (PC 455(a)).

According to court documents, in the early hours of April 10, 2026, Mr. Moreno-Gama allegedly brought a destructive incendiary device to a residence in Russian Hill with the express intent to murder a man who lived there and anyone in the house at the time. Mr. Moreno-Gama allegedly travelled from Texas with a knife, a gun, ammunition, and a list of targets. To carry out his plan Mr. Moreno-Gama acquired multiple containers of kerosene. He also acquired, or personally made, a destructive device commonly called a Molotov cocktail. Mr. Moreno-Gama allegedly brought, lit, and threw a Molotov cocktail (a bomb) at the Russian Hill residence at 3:30 a.m., in the morning where his target would be sleeping and most vulnerable.

Then he allegedly went on to the headquarters of a business located on the 1400 block of Third Street and threatened to burn the building down. He brought with him a large jug of Kerosene and a lighter. He allegedly attempted to break into the building but was stopped by security.

Although charges have been filed, this remains an active investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case, is asked to call the San Francisco Police Department Tip Line at 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD. You may remain anonymous.
