Tragedy struck the Sunnydale neighborhood of San Francisco on March 28th, 2026, when 24-year-old Tertron “Troop” Johnson was fatally shot during a block party in Visitacion Valley’s Sunnydale public housing complex.
The night, which had started with music, dancing, and laughter, was abruptly shattered at around 10:43 p.m. when gunfire erupted. Johnson, who was enjoying the vibrant atmosphere with friends, was struck by multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics rushed to his aid, but he succumbed to his injuries at a nearby hospital.
