"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.
As for the suspect, the city's district attorney's office is reviewing the case and could announce additional charges today.
