And the suspect was on probation from Texas. Tell Donald Trump to stop telling too much truth!
At the San Jose Mercury News, "'Random' San Francisco shooting kills 32-year-old ex-Pleasanton resident."
And at KGO-TV San Francisco, "FAMILY DEVASTATED AFTER WOMAN SHOT, KILLED IN SAN FRANCISCO":

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The family of a San Francisco woman who was killed in a seemingly random act of violence is mourning her loss as police continue to search for a motive.Ima hazard a guess that this story won't be leading the network news reports over the weekend.
On Thursday, police announced that Texas resident Francisco Sanchez was arrested in connection with the shooting death of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle, known to friends and family as Kate. The 45-year-old has been formally charged with her murder.
Video taken by a person who lived at a nearby apartment building shows bystanders trying to help Kate, who was mortally wounded. Police say the suspect never exchanged words with her before he shot her.
"The victim said something to her family members to the extent that she didn't feel well," said Sgt. Mike Andraychak. "Like she realized something had taken place with respect to her and she fell to the ground."
A police boat dragging sonar equipment cruised slowly around the pier on Thursday morning, looking for the gun that was used in the shooting. Sources tell ABC7 News that a gun has been found in the water. However, ballistics tests will need to be performed to see if the gun was the one used in the shooting at Pier 14.
Police believe the suspect tossed the weapon into the waters after the shooting.
Kate was fatally shot at around 6:30 p.m. as she strolled the pedestrian pier with her father.
"There does not appear to be any connection between the victim and the suspect," said Andraychak. "At this point, it appears to be a random shooting incident."
At the time, there were about a dozen people on the popular pier where thousands walk and jog every day. Police descended on the area after they received numerous 911 calls.
Investigators quickly emailed other officers some cell photos taken by witnesses of the suspect. Police found Sanchez about an hour after the shooting, hiding in front of a restaurant on the corner of Embarcadero and Townsend.
Bartender Noah Bucoy saw the takedown.
"Well, we just saw a guy on the floor and a cop putting a gun at him, and we're like, 'that's pretty serious,'" he said.
Kate lived across the street from where he was arrested.
Police say Sanchez is on probation in Texas. ABC7 News sources tell us he's been deported to Mexico several times and that his rap sheet includes aggravated assault.
In the meantime, the victim's family is in shock. The victim's brother, Brad Steinle, says his sister loved to make people laugh and smile that he'll miss everything about her.
"We loved Kate, and I will love her till the day I die," he said.
All while trying to find the strength to move on.
"I had the best sister," Brad said. "She was the most wonderful, loving, caring person."
Idiots like America Ferrera and Eva Longoria will, but not this evil illegal alien Francisco Sanchez.
