The death of 63-year-old Yanfang Wu, who was pushed to death in San Francisco last year, has sparked political controversy. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins criticized Supervisor Aaron Peskin's actions regarding Wu's death, accusing him of seeking political relevance. Peskin, who will be termed out of his supervisor seat in January 2025, is facing backlash for his handling of the case. The incident has inflamed city politics, with community members rallying against the probation sentence of a man who assaulted a 94-year-old woman in 2021.

If Aaron Peskin is gonna run for mayor, he probably should have a good relationship with the DA. Instead, he attacks, gets clowned, and looks ignorant. Peskin should retire from public life and settle in as the NIMBY landlord he is. @BrookeJenkinsSF https://t.co/jym8jOYVyI

“San Francisco man” stabs a 94-year-old Asian woman in broad daylight multiple times. You’d think they’d send him to jail but the judge gave him probation. Also he was charged with murdering a guy in 2016 but the judge said there wasn’t enough evidence so he got let go. In… https://t.co/7kcf0EDKOk
Aaron Peskin politicizing the death of an Asian American elder for personal gain is standard fare for a self-serving bureaucrat who needs to be voted out and never allowed in public service again Peskin's doom loop political machine must be dismantled in November 2024 https://t.co/gUZ8uvi0ay https://t.co/izET4Vzk2X

“Jenkins criticized Peskin’s resolution as a “desperate attempt” to “fight for his political relevance as he sees the end of his political career coming soon.” Peskin will be termed out of his supervisor seat in January 2025.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 https://t.co/idUpKqXvLs
An Asian woman was pushed to death last year in San Francisco. Now, politicians are arguing about it. In a shocking and rare move, DA @BrookeJenkinsSF speculated on Supervisor @AaronPeskin's expected mayoral run in a scathing statement. https://t.co/CH5DnsIEMA
