San Francisco, CA – Today, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that Norris Reed III (36) of Oakland was charged with two counts of attempted murder and multiple felonies in connection to a shooting of Police Officers in the Bayview.

Mr. Reed is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., at the Hall of Justice. The District Attorney’s Office will move to have Mr. Reed held in custody pending trial without bail due to the public safety risk he poses.

Mr. Reed is charged with two counts of attempted murder (PC 664/187), two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm on a peace officer (PC 245(d)2)), two counts of shooting from a motor vehicle (PC 26100c), one count of felony reckless evading (VC 2800.2), one count of unlawful possession of ammunition PC 30305(a)(1)), two counts of carrying a loaded firearm with intent to commit a felony (PC 25800a), two counts of carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle (PC 25850(a)), two counts of felon in possession of a firearm with prior violent conviction (PC 29900(a)(1)), two counts of felon in possession of a firearm (PC 29800(a)(1)), two counts of felon carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle (PC 24500(a)(1)) and two counts of concealed firearm on convicted person (PC 25400(a)(2)). The criminal complaint also includes multiple allegations including that Mr. Reed discharged a firearm in the commission of these crimes, that he inflicted great bodily injury and that he committed these felonies after suffering a prior strike conviction for kidnapping. Court documents also allege that Mr. Reed was on parole at the time of this incident.

According to court documents, investigators with the San Francisco Police Department’s Real Time Investigation Center received information that a 2021 Gray Toyota, believed to have been used in an armed robbery in Hayward, hit FLOCK cameras on the Bay Bridge and its occupants were also believed to be armed and dangerous. San Francisco Police found the vehicle as they drove northbound near the intersection of Fifth Street and Folsom Street. Police attempted to stop the vehicle near Mission Street and First Streets, exiting their marked patrol vehicle and verbally commanding the driver—later identified as Mr. Reed to stop, roll the window down and drop the keys outside of the car.

Allegedly, Mr. Reed refused to do so and fled northbound on Fremont Street in the vehicle. Three marked patrol vehicles then pursued Mr. Reed and his passenger. Officers activated their lights and sirens as they observed Mr. Reed turn northbound on Fremont Street, driving at speeds of 40 miles per hour. The Toyota continued to travel at speeds of approximately 60 miles per hour until it reached Mariposa Street, eventually winding up on Potrero Avenue driving southbound. The vehicle came to a halt when it collided with the left-side concrete barrier on the Bayshore on-ramp.

Police Officers stopped where Mr. Reed crashed the Toyota, got out of their marked patrol vehicle, and ordered Mr. Reed and his passenger to exit the vehicle at gun point. Allegedly, Mr. Reed opened the driver’s side door and fired multiple rounds at two police officers, striking one in the leg. The officer who was not hit by gunfire immediately ran to render aid and saw Mr. Reed allegedly flee on foot toward a nearby gas station near the intersection of Bayshore Boulevard and Jerrold Avenue.

Officers found Mr. Reed hiding in the Bayshore Navigation Center. Video surveillance footage pulled from the Navigation Center’s cameras captured an unknown person letting Mr. Reed inside the gate of the building where he was subsequently found and taken into custody by San Franciso Police. Police recovered two loaded firearms from Mr. Reed —a Glock .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol and a P80 “Ghost Gun.” Officers also located two extended magazines in the Toyota.

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.
