Here’s video of the shooting:
The shooting happened on October 21 after 1 P.M. near one of the gas pumps at a Chevron station at 1700 Castro St. Law enforcement sources confirmed the victim of the robbery was Joyner, who led the police department’s Ceasefire anti-violence initiative from 2013 until his retirement as a captain in 2019.
According to a police statement, Joyner was pumping gas when three men, including Theze, rushed him. They grabbed his cellphone and started digging in his pockets. Joyner wasn’t struggling with the men until they opened his car door and went for his backpack. At that point, Joyner grabbed his gun and shot Theze to death.

During the robbery at some point, shots were fired and both victims sustained gunshot wounds.”
