A Daly City man just south of San Francisco is facing murder charges in what the District Attorney describes as an “execution style” shooting of a gym custodian, reports KTVU.
The victim identified as Rolando Viray Yanga, 60, called out the suspect accusing him of vandalizing the bathroom, according to ABC7.
Surveillance video shows Yanga leaving the gym and followed by another car before at least eight shots rang out.
Under arrest are 21-year-old son Maarji Afridi and his mother, 50-year-old Zaib Afridi, whose accused of being an accessory to a felony.
Yanga is described by a friend as “like an older brother or uncle…always thinking of other people and sharing things with them. He is highly cherished and respected. He enjoyed sharing his gifts and talents with mankind and humankind.”
Yanga’s son Jeffrey is a former police officer. A GoFundMe campaign organized by the family to pay for funeral expenses, support the family and keep Yanga’s truck had raised more than $42,000 as of Monday morning.
