you're not the only one who thought this, he was also out at 2:35am and he's a single dad? just seems really strange. it is a tragedy nonetheless

don't be this way. pouring conspiracy nonsense onto a tragedy is gross

He was killed by a random person for unknown reasons. Most murders don’t happen that way.

Everyone else is saying homelessness and drugs: why is that narrative better?

Because it fits the reality of that neighbourhood, vs being baseless conspiracy theory.

No, it does not fit that neighborhood at all. Plus, this wasn't some stray bullet from a shooting, this person was stabbed multiple times to death.

Indeed: crossfire from a shooting would not fit the neighbourhood. Being attacked by someone with a knife definitely would, unless I've been staying in a different SOMA this last few years.

The east side of SOMA is a lot quieter than the west side. Main Street is pretty tame.

This did happen late at night... I would expect the victim and the assailant were the only two people around. Or close to that. It's pretty damn quiet in that part. IIRC there are ~two apartment/condo buildings on that block and that's it.

Maybe you've learned something.
