San Francisco Man Arrested for Murder and Burglary in Taraval District Homicide Investigation
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — San Francisco Police Department officers have arrested a suspect in connection with a homicide that occurred in the Taraval District. The incident began on November 23, 2025, at approximately 3:04 p.m., when officers responded to a reported burglary at a residence in the 200 block of Granada Avenue.
Upon arrival at the scene, officers located an adult victim who was suffering from injuries. Police immediately began administering aid, including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), until paramedics arrived to continue life-saving efforts. Despite the response from first responders and medical personnel, the victim was pronounced deceased at the location. The victim’s identity has not been released at this time.
The SFPD Homicide Detail assumed control of the investigation. As the inquiry progressed, Taraval Police officers responded to a separate call regarding a well-being check in the area of 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard. There, officers located a male subject whose appearance was consistent with the description of a person of interest in the homicide case.
Officers detained the subject without incident. Investigators subsequently developed probable cause, leading to the subject’s arrest. The suspect was identified as 45-year-old Cassidy Wyatt Allen, a resident of San Francisco. Allen was booked into the San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of murder (PC 187) and burglary (PC 459).
This does not appear to be Allen’s first brush with the law, as a records search shows that he has been arrested numerous times in recent years.
