San Francisco, CA – San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced today that her office secured a conviction of David Wallace (36), after a trial by jury for a violent robbery in SOMA. Mr. Wallace was convicted of robbery (PC 211). The jury also found true allegations that Mr. Wallace had been previously convicted of a strike eligible offense, that he had suffered numerous prior felony convictions, had previously served terms in state prison and that he was on parole at the time this incident occurred.

“I would like to thank the jury for their service in this trial,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. “My office will continue to do everything we can to hold those who break our laws accountable and protect the safety of residents, workers and visitors who should be able to enjoy our city without fear of being robbed or beaten.”

According to evidence and other testimony presented at trial, on October 29, 2025, at approximately 8:00 p.m., Mr. Wallace, along with two other men, confronted and robbed the victim outside of a corner store located at Fifth Street and Shipley Street. As the victim left the store he was attacked by Mr. Wallace and the two men. Mr. Wallace threw the victim to the ground, punched him repeatedly, rifled through his pockets, and stomped him as the victim lay on the ground, trying to protect his head. After the attack was over, the victim realized that Mr. Wallace and the two men had taken his wallet and other property he had with him.

The case against Mr. Wallace was successfully prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Henry Gage III, with assistance from paralegal Rayna Braun. Victim Advocate Brittany Weeks-Binel worked closely with the victim and provided invaluable assistance. Prosecutors were able to develop a strong case against Mr. Wallace based on outstanding police work from the San Francisco Police Department’s Robbery Detail, Tenderloin Station Patrol Units and Oakland Police Department Investigators.

Mr. Wallace is currently in custody. Sentencing is scheduled for June 17, 2026.

Court Number: 25028476
