"Multiple social media accounts for Wilfredo Tortolero Arriechi, the 35-year-old man accused of stabbing a San Francisco General Hospital social worker to death in early December, show an apparent mental unraveling in the days and weeks before the killing. Tortolero Arriechi's posts before he allegedly stabbed social worker Alberto Rangel on Dec. 4. included incoherent ramblings about sexuality, depression, and missing his family in Venezuela."
"Tortolero Arriechi has been charged with murder. His public defender Sylvia Nguyen told Mission Local in an interview earlier this month that he was "suffering a mental health crisis." For weeks after the incident, Tortolero Arriechi was held in the jail-operated psychiatric ward, unable to appear in court. Nguyen did not say what caused the crisis, but Tortolero Arriechi's posts offer a glimpse into his mental state in the months leading up to the afternoon of Dec. 4."
