A man was fatally shot and a woman stabbed in a fight that broke out Friday afternoon in SoMa, according to the San Francisco Police Department.
The confrontation took place sometime before 2:30 p.m. on Sixth Street near Jessie Street, SFPD said in a Sunday release.

Despite efforts by first responders and medical staff, the man who was shot was pronounced dead at the hospital. The condition of the female victim was not immediately available late Sunday morning.
On Wednesday, the city’s Office of the Medical Examiner identified the man as Timothy Ryan Butler, 33.
