The 53-year-old Carmigiani was beaten with a metal pipe and suffered severe head injuries, including a fractured skull. Hours earlier he and his mother called 911 to report three homeless people set up an encampment at her home, saying they made threats of violence to his family.
Carmigiani said that neither the San Francisco Police Department nor homeless service providers responded to 911 calls. That evening, he stopped by the home, and after asking the group to leave, he said two people moved toward him in a threatening manner, with one attacking him with the metal pipe.
