A 24-year-old San Francisco man was shot and killed Sunday while driving his car in the Bayview district, according to San Francisco police.
Police said Ricky Herd was driving through the intersection of Hudson Ave. and Whitney Young Circle when he was shot in the head around 5 p.m. Sunday.
Police initially thought Herd had been involved in an automobile accident after a passer-by flagged down a patrol officer and told him about a nearby car accident. When the officer arrived at the scene, he found a red Toyota that had sheered off a light pole and landed on a tree. Inside the car was what appeared to be an unconscious man. But when paramedics arrived, they discovered the man -- later identified as Herd -- had been shot in the head.
Investigators later found three gunshot casings in the intersection, said Lt. Mary Stasko. Herd was taken to San Francisco General, where he was pronounced dead.
