Eric Bigone was killed in the Sunset. What happened?

Okay so, the City just dropped some pretty heavy news out of the Sunset.

### Your Neighborhood Just Saw a Tragedy

The San Francisco Police Department confirmed earlier today, Tuesday, May 19, 2026, that the man shot and killed in the Sunset District has been identified as Eric Bigone. No other details have been released yet on the circumstances surrounding the shooting or if any suspects have been identified. This hits close to home, obviously, since the Sunset is usually pretty chill, just fog and folks walking their dogs by Ocean Beach. It's a reminder that even in neighborhoods we think of as quiet, things can turn really dark, really fast. You just hope the SFPD gets to the bottom of it quickly.

* **Who:** Eric Bigone

* **What:** Identified as the victim of a fatal shooting

* **Where:** Sunset District, San Francisco

* **When:** Confirmed by SFPD on Tuesday, May 19, 2026

This kind of news just hangs in the air, especially when it's in your own backyard. Keep an eye out for updates from the SFPD; they usually release more details as the investigation unfolds.

That's the City, fam — fog, hills, and all.
