San Francisco, California — On May 19, 2023, at approximately 2:20 p.m. San Francisco police officers responded to the 100 block of Bosworth Street regarding a person armed with a firearm who entered a residence. The person who discovered the suspect was able to exit the residence and contacted the police. The suspect was identified as 40-year-old Sergio Barrios. Officers arrived on scene and made contact with the armed suspect who had refused to comply with officers for approximately 3 and a half hours. Additional SFPD resources and SFFD medics were on scene to assist with the incident. 

Police say Barrios threw his gun down at one point but remained close to the weapon. Authorities say he held SFPD Ingleside and tactical officers at bay while drinking wine and vodka. Police say he ignored or could not hear officers' commands because he was wearing headphones. Authorities say he became more animated after snorting cocaine. As officers were attempting to negotiate with Barrios, he picked up the firearm and that's when an officer-involved shooting occurred. One officer fired his rifle, three other fired less-lethal weapons. Barrios was transported to the hospital. Despite the life-saving efforts of the emergency responders and medical staff Barrios succumbed to his injuries and was declared deceased.
