Prosecutors announced charges Thursday against Daronte Scott, 36, in a July 25 shooting on Market Street near Powell Street BART. Four bystanders were wounded, KRON4 reported.
Prosecutors allege Scott was arguing with a woman shortly before 1 a.m. when bystanders intervened to deescalate the confrontation. He allegedly fired multiple rounds, striking four people. The victims received hospital treatment for injuries described as non-life-threatening.
The Independent’s earlier reporting described the victims as strangers who tried to break up the dispute. Scott now faces gun-related charges including assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Prosecutors are seeking detention without bail. The charges are allegations, not convictions.
