"Charges could be announced as early Thursday in the death of a beloved Urban Alchemy ambassador, who was shot outside of San Francisco's main public library. On Friday afternoon, 60-year-old Joey Alexander was working his normal shift when he was shot. He was taken to the hospital where he spent several days before he died the following Tuesday. The suspect in the case was arrested."
"In the meantime, a memorial is growing for Alexander, as he is remembered for serving his community. "I can't overstate how tight knit the Urban Alchemy family is," said Urban Alchemy spokesperson Jess Montejano. "These are individuals with lived experience, incarceration, homelessness, addiction. They all have superpowers to help serve people in crisis and in need on our streets." Despite the tragedy, Urban Alchemy says it is committed to its mission."
