San Francisco, CA – Today, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that Solomon Kahiviano Casperson (52) has been charged following two separate homophobic criminal threat incidents at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.

Mr. Casperson is scheduled to be arraigned on June 16, 2026, at 1:30 p.m., in the Hall of Justice. He is charged with three felony counts of making criminal threats in a sensitive area (PC 422.3(a)), and one felony count of stalking (PC 646.9(a)). The criminal complaint also alleges hate crimes enhancements (PC 422.75) and personal use of a deadly weapon (PC 12022(b)(1)). At the time of the charged offense, Mr. Casperson was on supervised parole for a second-degree robbery and on court probation for a recent vandalism conviction.

The District Attorney’s Office will move to have Mr. Casperson detained pending trial without bail due to the public safety risk he poses. The District Attorney’s Office will also move to revoke Mr. Casperson’s parole.

According to court documents, on April 4, 2026, Mr. Casperson allegedly became verbally aggressive with a healthcare worker at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. The healthcare worker then asked another healthcare worker for assistance who asked Mr. Casperson to wait in the waiting room. Allegedly, Mr. Casperson, refused to go to the waiting room while using a homophobic slur multiple times and then saying that he did not like gay people and would follow the worker to his car and kill him.

According to court documents, on June 8, 2026, Mr. Casperson allegedly returned to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and threatened to kill the victim while using homophobic slurs. Another worker saw Mr. Casperson allegedly waiving an umbrella around aggressively in the presence of other patients. Fearing for his safety the victim again asked Mr. Casperson to leave. As he was leaving, Mr. Casperson allegedly made more homophobic threats saying “I will bring my gun and shoot all the f****** at the hospital,” and that he would wait for the victim at the parking garage to beat him down. Allegedly, Mr. Casperson left the immediate vicinity and stood outside of the entrance where he continued to make death threats, threats of violence and harm while swinging the umbrella.

Although charges have been filed, in this case 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.
