“Violent, egregious, brazen criminal conduct will be vigorously prosecuted in San Francisco, said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. “My office takes these crimes seriously and will use every legal means available to protect the safety of the public and ensure that there are consequences.”
According to San Francisco Police, between the dates of September 26, 2023, and October 4, 2023, Mr. Gage and Mr. Tucker are alleged to have committed three armed commercial robberies in and around the Mission District. The robberies all occurred in the midnight to early morning hours. The robberies all involved the taking over of businesses and forcing victims on to the floor or corralling them into back rooms, all at gunpoint. In two of the robberies, the suspects’ pistol whipped the victims. In each robbery the suspects stole US Currency and merchandise, and in two of the incidents, the suspects also stole the businesses’ ATMs.
Mr. Gage and Mr. Tucker’s next court date is October 23, 2023, to set the date for the preliminary hearing in this matter. The District Attorney’s Office moved to detain each of them pending trial because of the public safety risk they pose. The court did not set bail for Mr. Gage or Tucker who will remain in custody at this time. The court will rule on the People’s motion to detain with the preliminary hearing in this case. If convicted of all charges and all allegations are found to be true, each faces up to life in State Prison.
