Bayview Community Activist Arrested In Four Killings Spanning 17 Years
Briefly

Sauntek Harris, a community activist, was arrested in San Francisco, facing murder charges linked to four killings, including a fatal shooting in 2019 and three cold cases from 2002. Initially charged in the 2019 incident, the case was dropped due to a self-defense argument. New evidence and a raised reward led to refiled charges by prosecutors. Harris is being linked to fatal shootings involving robbery and witness intimidation from the early 2000s, emphasizing a breakthrough in longstanding cold cases.
Harris was seen on surveillance video ducking behind a vehicle and firing six shots at Whitley, one of which hit him in the chest.
A reward in the cold case was recently raised to $100,000, and a new composite sketch of the suspect was released, which may have led to the new charges against Harris.
