By Joe Rivano Barros Verified| Mission Local Verified San Francisco police officers arrested a suspect after a fatal shooting at the edge of the Tenderloin on Monday afternoon — San Francisco’s fifth homicide of the year. At 5:29 p.m., San Francisco police officers came to the corner of Turk and Mason streets, near the Powell BART station, responding to reports of a shooting. They found a victim “suffering from a gunshot wound” and rendered aid, according to the department. Medics were called, but the victim was declared dead on-site.
