The 70-year-old woman was brutally beaten, kicked in the head by multiple assailants and robbed in broad daylight inside her apartment complex. EXCLUSIVE: 70-year-old woman brutally beaten, kicked in head by 4 assailants at SF apartment complex She says she was standing in front of a building when four juveniles approached her. They asked her a question, which she didn’t understand due to a language barrier, then gained access to her building where they beat her and stole her property, police say. During a news conference Monday, SFPD investigators identified the suspects as 18-year-old Oakland resident Daryl Moore and three juveniles — ages 11, 13 and 14. The names of the juvenile suspects will not be released. Warrants were issued for Moore, the 13-year-old suspect and the 14-year-old suspect on charges of robbery, elder abuse, burglary, false imprisonment and conspiracy. Because of their ages, the 11-year-old suspect could not be charged in this case, SFPD says.

We know these are not isolated incidents and we can’t treat them as isolated incidents. They are systemic widespread problems that need systemic widespread solutions,” said Police Commissioner Kevin Benedicto. ABC7 News spoke with SFPD Lt. Kevin Healy, who said the video of the attack was key to identifying the suspects and confirmed the 18-year-old is known to several law enforcement officers. “I can’t tell you that not only the identification but the investigation; BART PD helped, OPD, Alameda County Juvenile Probation, Milpitas Police Department and certainly the SFPD officers are the ones working hard out there, they’re the ones that the suspects identified it. Did many police departments throughout the Bay Area know him? I would say yes,” said Lt. Kevin Healy of the SFPD robbery unit.

Light as a feather: “What does it really look like when you’re dealing with minors in this situation?” DA Jenkins: “Yes, so the 18-year-old will have his charges filed in adult court. The juveniles will proceed through the juvenile system. With the 11-year-old it will be a community issue because he is too young to be charged with a crime.” Moore was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail on Aug. 10. The 13-year-old suspect was booked on unrelated charges at the Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall and is being transported to Alameda County, where he will be held on charges in this case. The 11-year-old was transported to the Alameda County Assessment Center. The 14-year-old has not yet been taken into custody. San Francisco’s police chief said the young ages of three of the four suspects were “shocking.” If you use the ABC7 News app, click here to watch live Copyright © 2022 KGO-TV. All rights reserved.
