Over the weekend, SFist briefly noted a Friday shooting outside the library in which the victim was left critically injured. That victim has since died, and we're now learning that he was an employee of Urban Alchemy. According to Urban Alchemy, when Alexander spoke to Bowen, Bowen replied, "Fuck Urban Alchemy," pulled a shotgun out of his bag, and shot Alexander at close range. "Our entire Urban Alchemy family is grieving after this devastating loss and sending prayers and love to Mr. Alexander’s family and friends."
