Two suspects were arrested in connection with the “targeted” shooting death of a 23-year-old San Francisco resident who was ambushed in February across the street from a police station in the Western Addition, officials said Friday.

Kenya Cyprien and Johnny Jackson, both 21, were arrested Thursday on suspicion of murder, said Officer Albie Esparza, a spokesman with the San Francisco Police Department.

On Feb. 21, the victim, Curtis Cail, was shot multiple times as he sat in a Dodge sedan outside a McDonald’s at Golden Gate Avenue and Fillmore Street. The shooting occurred just before 3 p.m. across the street from the city’s Northern District Police Station.

As the gunman ran to a waiting car and sped away, Cail got out of the bullet-riddled sedan and collapsed on the sidewalk, police said. He was pronounced dead at San Francisco General Hospital.

“The victim was targeted,” San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said at the time of the incident. “We believe he was known to the suspects.”

Cyprien was also booked on suspicion of participation in a criminal street gang and violation of a protective order, according to the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department. Jackson was also booked on suspicion of participation in a criminal street gang, violation of a protective order as well as conspiracy and a probation violation, the Sheriff’s Department said.
