Off-Duty Officer’s Swift Action Leads to Immediate Arrest of Robbery Suspect 25-090

On June 6th, 2025, at approximately 6:47 p.m., San Francisco Police Officers responded to a business located on the 2000 block of San Jose Ave regarding a robbery suspect being detained by an off-duty San Francisco Police officer.

Officers arrived on the scene and observed a male suspect being detained by an off-duty officer and placed the suspect under arrest without incident.

Through the course of the investigation, officers discovered that a male suspect entered the business and stole store merchandise. As the suspect exited the store, an employee attempted to stop the male suspect, and a physical altercation ensued outside the business. During the incident, the off-duty officer, after identifying himself, intervened and detained the male suspect as the employee called for police.

Officers developed probable cause to arrest the male suspect identified as 21-year-old Eduardo Dias Da Silva of Daly City.

During the arrest, the suspect was found to be in possession of a loaded firearm that was recovered and seized on the scene.

There were no reported injuries as a result of the incident.

The officer’s bravery and quick actions led to the immediate arrest of the suspect.

Although an arrest has been made, this remains an open and active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or Text-A-Tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.
