Wesley Woods, 49, was found dead in San Francisco on September 13, 2016. His death was ruled a homicide during a year that saw a notably higher number of killings in the city, with 59 homicides recorded by the end of 2016. Woods’ case was later classified by the San Francisco Police Department as a cold case due to insufficient leads or witnesses.

The case has been cited as part of a broader surge in violent crime affecting neighborhoods across the city. The Mayor’s Office has offered rewards for tips in unsolved cases, and the SFPD has repeatedly appealed to the public for information, including anonymous tips, and said it will reopen cold cases if new information emerges. If anyone knew Wesley Woods or has information that could help investigators, please share what you know with the SFPD or an anonymous tip line.
