San Francisco, CA – Today, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that Eliseo Alvarez (20) of San Rafael was charged with murder in connection to a fatal shooting in the SOMA. Edwin Maldonado (19) of Richmond, and Andy Segura-Giron (20) of San Rafael were also charged in connection to the shooting.
All three men were arraigned on August 19, 2026, and each pleaded not guilty to all counts and denied the allegations.
Mr. Alvarez is charged with murder (PC 187(a)), with an allegation that he used a firearm in the commission of the murder (PC 12022.53(d)), and carrying a concealed firearm (PC 25850(a)). Mr. Maldonado is charged with two counts of assault with an automatic firearm (PC 245(b)) and carrying a concealed firearm (PC 25850(a)). The criminal complaint also includes an allegation that Mr. Maldonado personally used a firearm (PC 12022.5(a)). Mr. Segura-Giron is charged with two counts of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury (PC 245(a)(4)).
The District Attorney’s Office moved to have all three men detained pending trial without bail due to the public safety risk they pose. The court set no bail for Mr. Alvarez and he will remain in custody. Mr. Maldonado and Mr. Segura-Giron were each released on their own recognizance with electronic monitoring and home detention. The next court date for all three men is August 31, 2026, for the preliminary hearing.
According to court documents, on March 27, 2026, San Francisco Police responded to the intersection of Third Street and Harrison because they heard gunshots. Police found a man with an apparent gunshot wound and summoned emergency medics. The victim was transported to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. Allegedly, Mr. Maldonado began yelling at the victims who were waiting to enter a club. Allegedly, he pointed a gun at them and got into a struggle with the victims who attempted to take the firearm, and during the struggle, the firearm was discharged into the ground. Shortly after this, another suspect fired multiple rounds, wounding one person. Video recovered from the scene capturing the incident allegedly shows Mr. Alvarez fire at the victim.
