Man Charged With Murder in 2024 Mission District Killing

Prosecutors say surveillance footage plus recovered illegal firearms support a request to keep the suspect jailed without bail.

Overview

  • Darryon Harry Chun, 28, was charged Friday with one count of murder and multiple weapons offenses in the Aug. 4, 2024, killing of 32-year-old Keith Albert.
  • Prosecutors say surveillance video shows two men approach Chun, who then allegedly draws a gun, rapidly approaches the wheelchair-bound victim, and a gunshot is heard off camera.
  • Investigators say they recovered a privately made Sig Sauer P320 described as an unmarked 'ghost gun' and an illegal AR-15-style rifle during a search of Chun’s residence.
  • Authorities arrested Chun in January after a tactical unit announced its presence and say a police drone recorded his alleged escape attempt while armed; prosecutors said they delayed filing charges to build evidence and anticipate defenses.
  • Chun is set for arraignment May 28 when prosecutors plan to ask a judge to hold him without bail, a move that underscores growing prosecutorial focus on ghost guns and public-safety concerns in San Francisco.
