This afternoon, the SFPD announced that an arrest had been made in the August 31st drive-by shooting at Golden Gate and Broderick which left one man critically injured.
On Tuesday, October 14th, 25-year-old Easy Chang of San Francisco was arrested after Park Station’s investigations team and plain clothes officers executed a search warrant for a residence and vehicle. Police released a sketch of the suspect and the car involved in the incident back in September, though it's unclear whether the sketch prompted a lead which led to the arrest.
