Thomas Walsh, 58, was killed on May 18, 2019, in San Francisco’s Western Addition while working on a 1970 Chevrolet Nova SS as a favor to a friend. The shooting occurred around 5:30 a.m. on Turk Street near Franklin. Walsh was bent over the car’s engine with his back turned when he was approached and shot in the head near his right ear, dying instantly.

Authorities charged 22-year-old Afakasi Afakasi with Walsh’s murder. Prosecutors relied heavily on extensive video surveillance presented at arraignment and during the ensuing trial; the defense argued the footage did not clearly show the shooter’s face. Prosecutors say Afakasi and two friends had left a party, stopped at a nearby gas station, and that Afakasi then walked up to Walsh and shot him before the trio continued down Turk Street. Walsh’s family has sought justice and set up a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses.

Does anyone have firsthand information about Walsh’s activities that morning or about the people seen on Turk Street?
