Police Identify Homicide Victim

A shooting victim found near 25th Avenue and Geary Boulevard in the early morning of March 17 has been identified as 24-year-old Buu Cam Ung.

Witnesses in the area say they heard an argument and then gunshots at around 2 a.m. on Sunday and, upon looking out their windows, saw two young Asian males fleeing the scene on foot. The duo joined two Asian males in a silver Honda del Sol and sped away toward 25th Avenue, turning right onto Clement Street.

When police arrived, they found the victim lying on the sidewalk, suffering from gunshot wounds to the stomach and groin but still alive.

The victim was transported to San Francisco General Hospital, where he died at 9:09 a.m. on St. Patrick's Day.

San Francisco police department Homicide Inspector Joseph Toomey said the investigation is continuing.

"We don't have much else to go on, and what little we do have we can't release at this time," he said.

The inspector had no comment regarding whether or not the shooting was possibly gang related.
