Sam Altman house shooting
The San Francisco Police Department has arrested two suspects in connection with a drive-by shooting incident near the residence of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Sunday morning. The suspects have been identified as 25-year-old Amanda Tom and 23-year-old Muhamad Tarik Hussein. Both individuals were taken into custody without incident at a residence on Taylor Street after investigators used surveillance footage to track their vehicle.
Officers executed a search warrant and seized three firearms from the location. The pair has been booked into the San Francisco County Jail on charges of negligent discharge of a firearm. This incident occurred just two days after a separate attack on the same property involving a firebomb. You can find the latest police department updates on the arrests through our primary news feed.
Authorities stated that the shooting took place around 1:40 a.m. in the Russian Hill neighborhood where Altman owns a mansion valued at 27 million dollars. Witnesses reported seeing a Honda sedan pass the home before a passenger allegedly fired a single shot from the window. Security personnel on the scene immediately notified law enforcement and provided descriptions of the vehicle and its license plate.
While the motive for the gunfire remains under investigation, the event has raised significant security concerns for the high-profile tech executive and his family. Altman recently shared a rare personal photograph on his blog to address the growing threats against his household and staff. No injuries were reported as a result of the Sunday morning gunfire.

This second incident follows the Friday arrest of 20-year-old Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama who allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at Altman’s gate. Moreno-Gama was also accused of threatening to burn down the OpenAI headquarters in the Mission Bay district shortly after the residence attack. He currently faces several felony charges including attempted murder and arson.
The proximity of these two distinct events has led to an increased security presence around the property and corporate offices. OpenAI released a statement confirming their cooperation with the ongoing San Francisco Police Department investigation. The company emphasized that the safety of its leadership and employees remains its highest priority during this period of heightened activity.
