San Francisco man charged with murder in connection to tech worker Kimberly Wong's death
SAN FRANCISCO — A San Francisco man on Monday was charged with murder in connection to a woman who was found dead during a well-being check, the district attorney's office said.
The suspect, 29-year-old Scott Fisher, was arrested in Concord on Dec. 7, about a week after the victim was found dead.
On Monday, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office said he was charged with murder, with an allegation that he used a deadly weapon, a knife.
The victim was identified as Kimberly Wong, a tech worker. Police were called to a residential building in Presidio Heights on Nov. 30 around 7:12 p.m. for a welfare check. Officers found Wong unresponsive, and she was pronounced dead despite life-saving efforts.
Fisher and Wong were allegedly dating and living together at the Clay Street home, where she was found, the DA said.
His arraignment was scheduled for Monday. If convicted of all charges, Fisher faces 26 years to life in state prison.
"I offer my condolences to the victim's friends and family and my unwavering commitment to pursuing justice in the courtroom," SF District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in the release. "Although, there is nothing we can do to bring her back, we will do everything we can to ensure there is accountability and justice."
