Wehrer, who is a person of interest in the homicide, is also a suspect in an attempted bank robbery and carjacking Tuesday afternoon in the West Portal neighborhood.

Police Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said the suspect entered the Bank of America in the 200 block of West Portal Avenue at about 3:30 p.m. and unsuccessfully attempted to rob the bank.

He then allegedly carjacked a red 2006 Honda Accord before fleeing the area, Tomioka said, adding that the suspect brandished a gun during the carjacking.

Wehrer should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call homicide inspectors McEachern or Everson at (415) 553-1145 or the anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444.
