Perfect Homicide Arrest Rate Just Too Good to Last

Reflecting on the end of the streak...

Last week we wrote about a statistic too beautiful to survive: The San Francisco Police Department was boasting a 100 percent arrest rate for homicide cases in 2009. Well, the 21-day hot streak seems to be over (at least for now) after 23-year-old Leo Jia Jian Yu was murdered in the Western Addition this morning.

There apparently was no 300-pound man to sit on the suspect till the cops arrived, nor surveillance video footage that allowed for a quick capture of the gunman, as there had been in the first two homicide cases of the year. The police have no suspects.
