SFPD Makes Three Arrests in July Central District Homicide 25-088(a)

On July 3, 2025, at approximately 2:22 a.m., San Francisco Police officers from Central Station responded to Vandewater and Powell streets for a well-being check for a person who was on the ground. Officers arrived on scene and located an adult male suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Officers rendered aid, and medics arrived on scene, who transported the victim to the hospital for life-threatening injuries. Despite the lifesaving efforts of the emergency responders and the medical staff, the victim succumbed to his injuries on July 8, 2025, and was pronounced deceased in the hospital.

The SFPD Homicide Detail took the lead in the investigation. In the course of their investigation, multiple suspects were identified for their involvement in the homicide.

On the same date, additional SFPD Tactical units served a search warrant at a residence on the 600 block of Francisco Street in San Francisco. Investigators took 22-year-old Jesus Gabriel Cendejas of San Francisco into custody and booked him on the charge of murder (187 PC).
