San Francisco rental advertised despite alleged killing outside property
A three-bedroom rental in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset is being advertised for $6,300 a month despite being linked to the alleged murder of Eric Bigone outside the property in May. Retired dentist Philippe Chagniot, 68, has been charged with killing Bigone, 58, and the case has angered Bigone’s family and neighbours.
Prosecutors allege Chagniot set fire to Bigone’s car before shooting him twice with a suppressed MAC-10. The property is held by the Chagniot 2007 Family Trust, while a wrongful death lawsuit claims the killing was intended to clear the home for sale; a judge has blocked its sale, but not its rental. The home was initially listed at $8,000 in August before being reduced, and the broker says the alleged killing is disclosed to prospective tenants, although she argues it occurred on the pavement rather than on the property.
