On the early morning of November 16, 2025, 20-year-old Kaylyn Tafao Olumua of San Francisco was killed by gunfire on a busy Mission District corner. Just after midnight a fight broke out near 16th and Valencia streets outside the Skylark bar; witnesses and dispatch recordings say the altercation spilled into the street behind a Waymo robotaxi. At about 12:25 a.m. officers and paramedics found two men with apparent gunshot wounds and rushed them to the hospital. Olumua was later identified by the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and did not survive.

Police quickly tracked and arrested 23-year-old Larry Hudgson Jr. in Visitacion Valley and recovered a firearm reported at or near the scene; he was booked on suspicion of murder but later released as investigators continued their inquiry. Authorities say the shooting grew out of an altercation rather than drug activity or unhoused-related issues. The victim’s family and friends have created memorial pages and candle-light tributes.

Investigators are seeking witnesses and video of the confrontation, including possible footage from the Waymo vehicle that reportedly captured the moments before and after the shooting. If anyone saw the fight, has video, or knows more about what led to the gunfire, please contact the San Francisco Police Department tip line or send a tip referencing this case.
