The San Francisco Medical Examiner's office has now identified the suspect as 42-year-old Keita O'Neil.
Around 10:30 a.m., officers responded to a report of a robbery and carjacking on the 1800 block of 23rd Street near Arkansas, according to San Francisco police spokesman Sgt. Michael Andraychak. The spokesman briefed reporters on the incident during a news conference Friday morning.

A suspect assaulted a Lottery employee and stole the white Lottery van, Andraychak said. The woman's injuries are not thought to be life-threatening, and Lottery officials are sending a representative to look after her, he said.
Another vehicle, described as a gold or tan SUV, was at the crime scene and police believe it was also involved in the robbery, according to Andraychak.

The two vehicles drove down the street together then split up, Andraychak said.
One group of officers stopped the SUV in the vicinity of Gilman Avenue and Ingalls Street, according to Andraychak. The officers detained three or four persons in the SUV, Andraychak said.
