The man suspected of carrying out the fatal stabbing outside the Embarcadero BART station last month will not face charges, the San Francisco District Attorney’s office confirmed Monday.
DA According to Brooke Jenkins, her office was unable to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that Jonathan Wright, 36, the suspect, was not acting in self-defense.
A few weeks after the Nov. 13th incident near the junction of Market and Main, Wright was arrested on charges of murder. Officers responded to a complaint of a bleeding person early that morning. Just outside the BART/Muni Metro Embarcadero station door, officers discovered a man victim who was injured.
The deceased was declared dead at the site despite the efforts of emergency personnel. The event affected BART and Muni operations and compelled authorities to close the station.
Prior to being immediately linked to the deadly stabbing, Wright was arrested by BART police at the Bay Fair station shortly after midnight on November 24 on an outstanding warrant. According to investigators, he was also accused of evading taxes. He is listed as transient by BART police.
According to jail records, Wright was also arrested on charge of murder just after 8 a.m. at the San Francisco County Jail #2. Jenkins made no mention of whether Wright would eventually face charges related to the incident.
