SF Gang Member Pleads Guilty In 2023 Mass Shooting That Injured Nine People In the Mission
Sep 21, 2026
A 26-year-old gang member was sentenced to 25 years in state prison after pleading guilty to charges in connection to a 2023 drive-by shooting that injured nine people outside a streetwear shop on 24th and Treat streets.Javier Campos, 26, pleaded guilty to assault with a semiautomatic firearm and co
mmitting violence to benefit his street gang, Sureños, in connection to a June 2023 drive-by shooting, as KRON4 reports. The incident occurred during a sixth anniversary celebration at Dying Breed, a clothing store located at 24th and Treat streets in the Mission. Nine people were struck, with all of the victims surviving. At least one person suffered serious injuries. The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office charged Campos in December 2023 with discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle and causing great bodily injury, eight counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and causing great bodily injury, and three counts of unlawful firearm possession. He was also charged with committing the crimes for the benefit of a criminal street gang and while out on bail in another case.Prosecutors said Campos admitted as part of his plea agreement that the shooting was intended as an attack on a rival Norteno gang.“When he opened fire into a public area, he showed a complete disregard for the lives of every person on that street,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins Monday. “Senseless gun violence will always be a top priority for my office.”Assistant District Attorney Robert Perkins said Campos’s guilty plea would hold him accountable for the shooting.Campos was also wanted by Oakland police in connection with the January 2023 shooting death of 18-year-old Mario Navarro, who was among five people shot during a music video gathering at an East Oakland gas station. That shooting involved gunfire from a vehicle and multiple alleged gunmen.Campos reportedly grew up partly in Richmond, while his father “had deep roots” in the Mission. Both his father and stepbrother were killed in separate incidents in 2012, and Campos had other outstanding warrants from around the Bay Area.Previously: 23-Year-Old Man Getting Arraigned Today For June Mass Shooting on 24th Street
