Argument led to shooting of pregnant woman in Bayview

A 26-year-old pregnant woman was injured in a shooting in San Francisco's Bayview District on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

"The two subjects were known to each other. They did have some sort of relationship with each other," said Morgan Hill police Sgt. Scott Purvis. "We're still investigating the details of what that was, but there was some sort of argument or altercation between the two subjects."

Residents said they heard between four and five gunshots, one at a time, followed by a woman screaming.

"We look out the window and there was a woman doing CPR on the guy. I think (for) a couple of minutes, then the police come," said neighbor Sabastian, who wished to withhold his last name."It's like, pop, pop, pop everywhere. So we duck down, and I look out the window and that's when I saw the body of the victim."

Investigators said the victim lived at the apartment complex and Garcia lived nearby. They said the suspect pulled the gun from his car and opened fire on the victim.

Officers continued to search for evidence throughout the afternoon, using a K9 team to assist in finding clues.

The Santa Clara County Coroner's Office will release the victim's identity.
