"The Mission Street block where some of the Tenderloin's and Sixth Street's drug activity moved to last year was the scene of an apparent homicide Friday morning. A man was fatally stabbed on the 1900 block of Mission Street between 15th and 16th streets Friday morning just after midnight. According to a release from the SFPD, the stabbing was reported at 12:11 am Friday, and arriving officers found a male victim suffering from an apparent stab wound."
"The SFPD says that in the course of their investigation, a suspect was identified still on the same block, near 15th Street, and probable cause was developed to arrest him. The suspect is identified as 47-year-old Paulino Inxah of San Francisco, and police say that knife was found on Inxah's person at the time of his arrest. Inxah was booked on suspicion of murder and possession of narcotics paraphernalia."
"This is the latest in a series violent incidents in this area of the Mission District which residents noted became much busier with unsavory activity in early 2025 after Mayor Daniel Lurie directed a major law enforcement sweep of Sixth Street and Civic Center. In early January, a block away on 16th street, three people were stabbed, two of them critically."
Just after midnight on Friday a man was found with an apparent stab wound on the 1900 block of Mission Street between 15th and 16th streets. Officers reported the stabbing at 12:11 a.m., provided lifesaving aid, and transported the victim to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Investigators arrested 47-year-old Paulino Inxah on the same block after finding a knife on his person; he was booked on suspicion of murder and possession of narcotics paraphernalia. Residents connect recent violence to increased unsavory activity after a law enforcement sweep, and earlier stabbings occurred nearby. The SFPD requested tips via a tip line and TIP411.
