The suspect, meanwhile, remains at large. Police were advising residents to stay out of the area if possible.

The shooting came two days after a group of residents of the Chinatown-International District marched to City Hall to protest the building of block-long homeless services, which, they said, would fuel an increase in crime, according to a report from FOX 13.
