San Francisco Police Arrest Two Teens in Killing of 15-Year-Old Jayda Mabrey

Investigators booked the youths on homicide allegations with no motive disclosed.

Overview

  • SFPD said a 16-year-old and a 15-year-old were taken into custody Monday and booked into the Juvenile Justice Center.
  • The arrests follow Friday’s triple shooting near Margaret Hayward Playground at Golden Gate Avenue and Laguna Street around 5:15 p.m.
  • Jayda Mabrey, a Gateway High School sophomore, died at a hospital, and two other youths were wounded and expected to survive.
  • Officials have not released the suspects’ names or genders because they are minors, and investigators have not announced a motive.
  • Family members say Jayda was an innocent bystander and that her younger sister witnessed the attack, as the Chronicle reported video showing a pre-shooting confrontation.
