The man is the second in a month to face charges for alleged hate crimes in Mission Dolores Park.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced on Wednesday that her office filed a hate crime charge against a 60-year-old man who allegedly threatened and chased a woman in Mission Dolores Park.
Killops allegedly chased the woman – who the district attorney's office noted identifies as Black and Latina – through the park"while shouting racial epithets and threatening to kill the victim." The hate crime enhancements in the case were filed"because prosecutors have evidence that the crime was motivated by animus towards Black people."
"Unfortunately, there are people in San Francisco who harbor hate and animus towards others because of the color of their skin or who they are," Jenkins said. "No one should face threats, violence or discrimination because of who they are, period. Hate crimes have been a constant threat against a variety of communities in San Francisco, and we shall seek justice in this case and work to hold Mr. Killops accountable for his actions.
Prosecution of the case is being handled by the district attorney's Vulnerable Victims Unit, which was established in September to oversee the prosecution of hate crimes, violence against elders and elder financial abuse.
