"Police said one victim - whom friends and a police source identified as Cornelius Wigfall, Jr., 44, known familiarly as "Saga" - was killed instantly. An unidentified woman who was also in the car was critically injured, though she is expected to recover from her gunshot wounds, Supervisor Shamann Walton, who represents the area, told Mission Local."
"San Francisco had a record-low total of 28 homicides in 2025 - the lowest number the city has recorded in 70 years. But 2026 has gotten off to a rough start: Entering the third month of the year, there have been eight homicides citywide, according to police data, compared to just one homicide at this time last year."
"A close friend of Wigfall said that he left behind four children, and was also a grandfather. "He was a wonderful father, wonderful husband, a wonderful friend," said the friend, who went by "T." "He deeply wanted to get out of his environment and do better for himself.""
On February 27, multiple bullets were fired into a white sedan parked near Potrero Terrace and Annex in San Francisco, killing Cornelius Wigfall Jr., 44, and critically injuring an unidentified woman. A 12-year-old boy was also wounded but not shot. Wigfall left behind four children and was a grandfather. Despite San Francisco recording a record-low 28 homicides in 2025, the lowest in 70 years, 2026 has started with eight homicides by March, compared to one at the same point last year. Wigfall had prior arrests for street terrorism, robbery, grand theft, and drug possession across multiple California counties.
