A 21-year-old man in California was arrested last month for allegedly
beating a convenience store clerk to death with a baseball bat after the
victim caught and confronted him for trying to steal two cans of beer from
the store. Santos De La Rosa this week was formally charged with one count
of murder, one count of second-degree robbery, and one count of assault
with a deadly weapon in the brutal August slaying of Yohannes “John”
Tewolde, authorities announced.
According to a press release from the San Francisco Police Department,
SFPD officers from the Richmond District at about 9:31 p.m. on Aug. 24
responded to a call about a reported robbery and aggravated assault at a
Richmond Market convenience store located in the 3900 block of Balboa
Street.
Upon arriving at the scene, first responders located the 60-year-old store
clerk — later identified as Tewolde — “lying on the ground and
unconscious.” Police called for emergency medical assistance and the
victim was transported to a local hospital after suffering “life-
threatening injuries” in the attack. Despite the best efforts of hospital
staffers, Tewolde succumbed to his injuries after spending several days in
a coma and was pronounced dead on Aug. 29.
Police obtained surveillance footage from the store’s security camera and
investigators released screenshots of the suspected assailant. The photos
showed a young man in a black T-shirt, red shorts, and white sneakers who
appeared to be carrying a pint-sized can of beer in each hand prior to the
attack.
An arrest warrant for De La Rosa was initially issued on Sept. 12 over the
Aug. 24 attack that ultimately led to Tewolde’s death, according to a
press release from the San Francisco County District Attorney’s Office.
In a criminal complaint, authorities allege that De La Rosa was “stealing
two cans of beer” when Tewolde spotted him. The clerk then attempted to
prevent De La Rosa from exiting the store by standing in front of the exit
holding a baseball bat. That did not deter De La Rosa, who went after
Tewolde, got the bat away from him, and thrashed him mercilessly.
“After the beating, the complaint further alleges, Mr. De La Rosa
retrieved one of the beers he had tried to steal previously, throws the
bat at a second victim who was present in the store and then runs in to
the passenger side of a waiting vehicle that departs westbound on Balboa
Street,” prosecutors wrote in the release.
“I would like to thank the San Francisco Police Department’s Homicide
division for their outstanding work to identify and apprehend, Mr. De La
Rosa,” San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement
after the charges were filed. “I would also like to thank the family and
friends of the victim for their patience and trust in the system.
Previously, I offered my condolences, and now I offer my office’s
unwavering commitment to fighting for justice in the courtroom.”
De La Rosa is currently scheduled to appear for his arraignment on Friday.
Prosecutors said they plan to file a motion seeking to keep De La Rosa in
detention pending trial, arguing that he poses a “public safety risk” if
allowed out.
Tewolde’s family set up a GoFundMe page to help with his hospital bills
and funeral expenses.
