Eddie Ellenberg IV, a 38-year-old Oakland resident, was fatally shot in San Francisco’s Visitacion Valley neighborhood on January 21, 2020. The shooting occurred in the early morning on Sunnydale Avenue. Ellenberg was driven to the location by a friend identified as M.R., and was taken to a hospital after the shooting but died of his wounds.

Investigators say Ellenberg and a man named Quette had a contentious relationship that led to a confrontation the night of the shooting. Surveillance footage and witness accounts indicate both men pulled firearms and exchanged gunfire. Quette was taken into custody; methamphetamine was found in his possession and he confessed, acknowledging that his shots had killed Ellenberg. The San Francisco Police Department classified the death as a police in-custody death because Ellenberg died after police arrived, a decision that redirected aspects of the investigation and drew criticism about investigative priorities.

What information do readers have about Ellenberg, M.R., or Quette, or about that night on Sunnydale Avenue?
