Three Men Arrested In San Francisco For Hunting And Shooting Gays

3/9/10-by Paula Brooks

Three Hayward, California men are scheduled to be arraigned Friday in San Francisco on assault and hate crime charges for allegedly shooting a man they thought was gay.

The incident took place Feb. 26 at about 10 p.m. outside a Mission District bar at 16th and Guerrero streets, when according to police, a 27-year-old San Francisco man who had just come out of the bar, was shot once in the cheek by suspects in a nearby car, which then drove off.

The man, who was not seriously injured, called police, and then while officers were interviewing him outside the bar, he spotted the same vehicle again driving by.

Police pulled the car over and found three men inside with a “rifle-style” BB gun and a video camera, which investigators later discovered had recorded the shooting.

The three men, Shafiq Hashemi, 21, Sayed Bassam, 21, and the driver, Mohammad Habibzada, 24, were arrested and according San Francisco Police, all allegedly admitted to the crime.

Prosecutors have charged all three men with assault with a deadly weapon, hate crimes and attempted mayhem, a charge relating to the possibility of a disabling or disfiguring injury. All remain out of custody after posting $50,000 bail.
