San Rafael Transit Center Gunman Identified

Police say shooter was Ladrakeous Sonny Dean, a 24-year-old former Marin City resident, who was on parole.

The suspect in Friday's shooting at the San Rafael Transit Center is still at large, but police have identified the man as Ladrakeous Sonny Dean, a 24-year-old now wanted for attempted murder.

The shooting took place Friday at the Transit Center, prompting an area-wide search, said SRPD Public Information Officer Margo Rohrbacher.

Dean, who has the nicknames of “Drake” or “D” is 6’-2” and weighs 185 pounds; he has brown hair, brown eyes and a dark complexion.  Dean is currently on parole from Solano County for home invasion robbery. He is considered armed and dangerous and anyone seeing Dean should call 911 immediately, Rohrbacher said.

Dean approached the victim on Platform D at the Transit Center and shot him at close range. The 22-year-old male victim remains hospitalized and is expected to survive.
