Theodore Tolliver, 48, was killed on August 17, 2021, in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. He was attacked in the early morning on the 800 block of Larkin Street by three suspects; during the assault one of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot Tolliver. He was taken to hospital and later died of his injuries.

Tolliver was active in the community as a Bay Area chapter coordinator for Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice and as a member of the San Francisco Reentry Council. On September 2, 2021, police arrested 36-year-old Hermando Aresolo and charged him with murder, assault with a firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and conspiracy. Authorities have not disclosed a motive.

His family launched a GoFundMe to cover burial expenses and support his one-year-old son, which raised over $12,000. Anyone with information about the killing is asked to contact the San Francisco Police Department.
