Alleged Tenderloin Murderer To Be Arraigned Today

View Larger Map
Patrick Sullivan, charged with brazenly stabbing a man to death Monday morning in a Tenderloin liquor store, will be arraigned today and enter a plea.

Sullivan, 46, is facing a murder charge for allegedly knifing fellow San Franciscan William Quinn, 40, shortly before 2 a.m. Monday in the Cadillac Market on Hyde and Eddy. With enhancements for using a deadly weapon, Sullivan is facing a term of 26 years to life, if convicted.

The fatal attack was witnessed by the market's counterman, who called 911 -- allegedly at the behest of Sullivan. The arresting officers claim to have witnessed Sullivan atop Quinn while toting a knife just outside the market. And the District Attorney's office claims the attack was caught on the store's security camera.

Sullivan is currently being held without bail.
