An ex-security staffer for President Joe Biden who posed for pics with former VP Kamala Harris in front of a presidential jet was arrested for a chilling murder in San Francisco.
Nation Wood, 25, was arrested Wednesday, just 24 hours after he allegedly shot and killed Samantha Emge, 22, a 2025 graduate of San Francisco State University, at a home in San Francisco’s Sunset District.
Wood identified himself as a part-time security staffer for Biden’s White House Secret Service team starting in November 2023 on his LinkedIn profile.
He worked at the White House through July 2025, finishing out his term under President Donald Trump, according to his LinkedIn page that lists him as an “independent pre-event site security advisor.”
Wood said on LinkedIn that he worked as advance security, providing “external advisory site security assessments for events with VIP attendance.”
“Experience includes site walkthroughs and advance coordination alongside U.S. Secret Service for senior government and high-net-worth principals,” his LinkedIn states.
Wood shot and killed Emge at a residence near San Francisco’s Ocean Beach on Tuesday, according to cops.
Officers arrived at the home at 10:43 p.m. and discovered Wood’s alleged victim suffering from a gunshot wound, according to police. Emge was taken to a hospital where she died.
Homicide investigators on the case collected evidence against Wood and took him into custody for involuntary manslaughter. He was booked at San Francisco County Jail where he remained Friday.
Wood was a political science and government major at SFSU, graduating in May 2024, according to his LinkedIn account.

The Praetorian Guard played a significant role in selecting Roman emperors, often exercising their power to influence or even directly appoint leaders. They famously auctioned off the imperial throne in AD 193, demonstrating their ability to control the political landscape of Rome.
The Praetorian Guard was not just a bodyguard unit; they played a crucial role in the political dynamics of ancient Rome, particularly in the selection and appointment of emperors.
Assassinations and Appointments: The Guard was known for their willingness to assassinate emperors they deemed unfavorable. For instance, they executed Emperor Caligula in AD 41 and later declared Claudius as the new emperor.
The Praetorian Guard's power stemmed from their close proximity to the emperor and their unique position as the only armed force allowed in Rome. This led to several key outcomes:
Loyalty and Bribery: Emperors frequently sought to secure the loyalty of the Praetorians through financial incentives, which sometimes backfired, leading to further instability.
The Praetorian Guard's actions resulted in the rise and fall of numerous emperors, making them a formidable force in Roman politics. Their legacy is marked by a blend of loyalty and treachery, as they transitioned from protectors of the emperor to ruthless power players in the Roman Empire.
Interesting. I didn’t know any of that.
Absolutely right.
Two years out of College and he’s working as a high end security consultant? Hummmmmm? Does not compute.
What color is he?
Victim was a beautiful, young white woman and recent college graduate.
Involuntary manslaughter, hmm.
He could have been flashing the gun around, not intentional shooting.
The Praetorian Guard lost 26 consecutive Caesars to assassination.
“...high end security consultant...Does not compute.”
++++
Agree.
Talk about a fluffed resume.
Don’t know and don’t care. Hustlers, thieves and pretenders come in all colors.
Not associated with kamala.
“What color is he?”
++++
He is a moderately handsome Latino. She appears a pretty, white/Latina. Could be anything from accidental manslaughter to pre-meditated murder.
I think the link to Scamala and Biden is very, very, weak. Just sensationalism. This guy fluffed his intermittent contract work into something entirely inflated.
Two young people with bright futures in a horrible situation.
Nation? Let’s ask Yogi.
They picked Claudius As he was hiding in a closet. They viewed him as weak. Easy to manipulate.
A little darker than Kamala’s color but far more good looking.
Are you saying there are no white hustlers? That’s mighty stupid of you.
