San Francisco police said Monday, Nov. 9, that they have booked 22-year-old Tylyce Shields on suspicion of robbery after a woman was robbed of about $1,500 in Chinatown on Oct. 29, the department said.
Officers responded about 1:30 p.m. to the 700 block of Jackson Street, where the woman said a man stole her cash as she was paying for groceries and fled, SFPD said. Investigators obtained a Ramey arrest warrant on Nov. 5 and found Shields already in the Alameda County Jail on unrelated charges. He was later taken to San Francisco County Jail and booked for the robbery.
