An award-winning filmmaker was arrested Monday in connection with a fatal shooting in San Francisco, police department officials said.
San Francisco-based filmmaker Kevin Epps, 48, was taken into custody by investigators on suspicion of homicide and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was booked into county jail Monday evening.
The homicide was reported just after 1:30 p.m. at a home in the 100 block of Addison Street in the city's Glen Park neighborhood, police said. When officers arrived on scene, they found a man in his 40s suffering from a gunshot wound.
Paramedics who responded to the scene declared the victim dead.
Epps rose to fame after producing and directing the documentary "Straight Outta Hunters Point." The critically acclaimed film painted a bleak picture of life in San Francisco's roughest neighborhoods.
No other information was immediately available.

Oh boy, San Fagcisco!
Neva heard o’ the dude, or his joint.
Not really. Glen Park is an upscale neighborhood with 1 to 3 million dollar homes and straight family types, many are tech workers. Far from the Castro district that lies north, and far from Hunters Point to the east. I'm currently remodeling a home there (I live to the south of SF).
Will he do more time for the gun possession or the murder?
....depends on how much he supports Hilda
