A man who held an 88-year-old Asian woman at gunpoint during a home invasion robbery in San Francisco has been arrested.
Gustavo Ribeiro-Quintanilha, 20, is believed to be one of two men who barged into the victim’s home on the 100 block of Louisburg Street near Geneva Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood on April 7.
The victim was alone at the time of the incident. The pair of perps forced her into a bathroom at gunpoint as they ransacked her home, according to reports.
