Shots were fired outside a San Bruno home on Thursday after a woman’s former boyfriend arrived to check on her, a prosecutor said.
Dion Khalil Cain, 33, of San Francisco, is charged for negligently discharging a firearm and possessing a handgun as a convicted felon after shooting his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend’s car, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Cain was arguing with his girlfriend at her San Bruno home on El Camino at 9:15 p.m. when her former boyfriend came to check on her, according to the DA. Cain told the man to leave, then ran into the bedroom and grabbed a gun, Wagstaffe said.
The ex-boyfriend fled to his car, and Cain chased the car barefoot, firing nine rounds at the car, according to Wagstaffe. The victim’s identity has not been disclosed because Cain’s girlfriend refused to provide his name.
Cain pleaded innocent on Monday and was released on his own recognizance. He is scheduled to return to court on Jan. 5, 2027.
Cain was previously convicted in 2016 for a burglary in Los Angeles, according to Wagstaffe.
