Carjacking suspect shot, killed by San Francisco police

SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco police shot and killed an alleged carjacking suspect Saturday night, police officials said. 

Shortly before 11:30 p.m., officers responded to an attempted carjacking with a knife in the area of Market Street and Gough Street. 

Officers located and pursued the suspect to Otis Street, where they attempted to detain the suspect. 

An officer-involved shooting occurred, which was captured on the officer's body-worn camera. 

The suspect was struck and was pronounced dead at the scene after officers performed medical measures to aid the suspect.

The suspect killed was identified as Cesar Vargas, 21, of Fairfield. 

This case is being investigated by several city law enforcement and legal agencies, and a town hall meeting will be held within ten days to address the shooting.
