San Francisco prosecutors announced Monday they had charged a 29-year-old man with stabbing his girlfriend to death in their Presidio Heights apartment — an alleged act of domestic violence that jolted the city and stunned residents of a quiet, affluent neighborhood.
Scott Fisher was arrested last week on suspicion of murdering Kimberly Wong, a 27-year-old tech worker who was found dead in her home in late November.
In charging documents, prosecutors allege he used a knife to carry out the attack.
Scott Fisher was arrested on Thursday afternoon in Concord.
Friends and family members of Wong gathered Monday afternoon at the San Francisco Hall of Justice, where Fisher was set to make his first court appearance. He stared straight ahead and answered perfunctory questions during a brief hearing. His arraignment was postponed until Friday morning.
If convicted of all charges, he faces up to 26 years to life in state prison. Prosecutors will file a motion to detain Fisher pending trial because of the public safety risk he poses, they said.
