Rolando Romero, a 61-year-old security guard, was shot and killed on July 2, 2018, while working at a public housing development in San Francisco’s Bayview District. Romero was sitting on a bench and video chatting with his wife in the Philippines when a man approached and shot him twice with a .38-caliber revolver at about 5:20 a.m., roughly an hour before his shift ended. He was unarmed and the attack was described as seemingly random.

A 24-year-old, Cardell Mason Coleman Jr., was arrested less than 24 hours later after surveillance footage and court records showed he had propped open a locked door, left the building through the garage, approached Romero, then ran back inside and hid the gun in a backpack in a stairwell. Coleman was charged with murder and pleaded not guilty at arraignment; his father said his son was not in his right state of mind. Romero’s family, including his sister Lynn Romero Cruz, mourned and sought to bring his body back to the Philippines, with community donations assisting.

Are there readers who remember seeing Romero that morning or who have information about the movements of anyone in the building before or after the shooting?
