San Francisco police have arrested two individuals following a shooting incident early Sunday morning near the Russian Hill residence of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The suspects, identified as Amanda Tom (25) and Muhamad Tarik Hussein (23), were taken into custody without incident after shots were reported in the area at approximately 2:56 AM on April 12.
According to the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD), the investigation into a “suspicious occurrence” led officers to a vehicle that had driven past the residence around the time of the gunfire. The vehicle was traced to Tom, a San Francisco resident. Following a search of a residence on Taylor Street, investigators seized three firearms and developed probable cause to book both Tom and Hussein for negligent discharge.
The incident marks the second high-profile security breach at Altman’s property in less than a week. Only two days prior, 20-year-old Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama was arrested for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at the same home.
While specific motives for Tom and Hussein’s actions have not yet been disclosed, Chief Derrick Lew emphasized that the department is taking the gun-related crimes “extremely seriously.” Both suspects are currently held at the San Francisco County Jail as the investigation remains active.
