Friends of a lesbian who was shot to death in a parking lot near a gay San Francisco nightclub in 2013 described in court how she had put up her hands and pleaded with the suspect before he shot her and a friend.

The man accused of fatally striking a gay San Francisco man with his car and fleeing the scene will remain in jail after a judge today (Thursday, April 21) denied a motion to reduce his $400,000 bail or release him on his own recognizance.
