“Acts of violence are completely unacceptable in our community,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. “My office will work tirelessly to pursue justice for victims and hold perpetrators accountable and face consequences.”

According to San Francisco Police, officers located an adult male victim suffering from a possible stab wound on October 24, 2023, at approximately 10:35a.m. in the area of Eddy Street and Taylor Street in the Tenderloin. Officers rendered aid and summoned medics to the scene who transported the victim to the hospital for life-threatening injuries. On October 28, 2023, the victim succumbed to his injuries.

Mr. Randle’s next court date is November 29, 2023. The District Attorney’s Office moved to detain him pending trial because of the public safety risk he poses. The court granted the People’s motion to detain without prejudice and set no bail for Mr. Randle. The court will hear further arguments on the motion to detain at the time of the preliminary hearing in this case. If convicted of all charges and all allegations are found true, he faces 26 years to life in State Prison.
