SFPD Arrests Fatal Hit and Run Suspect #26-136

On October 24, 2026, at approximately 5:08 a.m., officers responded to the area of Franklin and Pine streets for a vehicle collision involving injuries. Officers from Northern Station arrived on scene and located a person who was injured while riding a motorized scooter. Officers rendered aid, and medics arrived on scene and transported the adult male victim to the hospital for life-threatening injuries. Despite the lifesaving efforts of the medical staff, the victim succumbed to his injuries and was declared deceased in the hospital.   

The investigation determined that a vehicle struck the victim and fled the scene without rendering aid to the injured victim. The suspect and the vehicle could not be located during the initial investigation by the responding officers who searched the area.

The SFPD Traffic Collision Investigation Unit (TCIU) responded to the scene and took over the investigation. Through the course of the investigation, TCIU and the SFPD Sideshow Response and Enforcement Unit (SREU) investigators identified and located the suspect vehicle in San Rafael, CA.

On October 29, 2026, TCIU and SREU responded to San Rafael, CA, and located the vehicle where the suspect was also located. With the assistance of the San Rafael Police Department, the suspect, identified as 39-year-old male Daniel Llama, was taken into custody without further incident. The vehicle was seized and towed to San Francisco for the investigation.

SFPD officers transported Llama to the San Francisco County Jail, where he was booked for hit-and-run collision resulting in death (20001(a) CVC) and vehicular manslaughter (192(c)(2) PC).
