    Built.

  2. September 27, 1966

    The first call to police on the night of the Hunters Point uprising came from a store at this address. Crowds had gathered on Third Street after a white police officer shot and killed Matthew Johnson, a 16-year-old who had run from a car reported stolen; the officer said he fired two shots in the air and one at the youth, while witnesses said he fired all three at him. The police imposed a curfew and closed the bars and liquor stores, and later marched down Third Street firing live ammunition over the heads of the protesters, clearing the street from Newcomb to Palou.

    The shop on this corner was the first vandalised on 27 September 1966, when a crowd gathered at Third and Palou after a white police officer shot and killed an unarmed sixteen-year-old. The San Francisco Bay View newspaper later occupied the address and is on the city's Legacy Business Registry.
