The suspect reportedly fled into the station and the resulting police activity halted service to the Embarcadero station, causing major delays on the BART system. From 7 a.m. the trains stopped again at Embarcadero.
No suspect information was available to police and no arrest was made.
Homicide investigators set up a tent around the victim’s tarpaulin-covered body and cordoned off the area to vehicular and pedestrian traffic during the morning rush at the foot of Market Street.
Police urged anyone with information about the incident to call the department’s tip line at 415-575-4444, text TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD.
