Police arrested a San Francisco man early Monday morning in connection with the shooting of a man in the Excelsior district, authorities said.

The shooting was first reported around 11:45 p.m. Saturday on the 500 block of Naples Street, police said. First responders found the victim in a building with a gunshot wound and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Officers served a search warrant at 11 p.m. Sunday at a home on the 2800 block of 24th Street, identifying 22-year-old Jonathan Escobar as a suspect in the homicide. Escobar allegedly fled onto the rooftop of the home, prompting a three-hour standoff with hostage negotiators, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

Escobar was booked into the San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of homicide.

Detectives are still investigating any possible links between Escobar and the victim, said San Francisco Police Department spokesman Adam Lobsinger. The victim’s identity has not been released.

The killing was San Francisco’s 44th homicide in 2018.
