Abel Enrique Esquivel Jr., 23, a San Francisco resident, was shot near 26th Street and South Van Ness Avenue at about 2 a.m. on August 15, 2017 and died the following day at San Francisco General Hospital. The fatal bullet came from a .38-caliber revolver that had been stolen from a San Francisco police officer’s personal vehicle days earlier.

Investigators say a teenage robber wearing a GPS anklet shot Esquivel; that teen and two other suspects were arrested and charged with his murder and arraigned in San Francisco Superior Court. The case prompted public anger because the gun came from an officer’s stolen firearm. Esquivel had interned at the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN SF) over the summer; CARECEN’s executive director Lariza Dugan Cuadra and family members spoke about the community’s grief and frustration.

Esquivel’s family also filed a complaint against the San Francisco Police Department over the theft of the officer’s gun and its role in the killing. Does anyone have information about Abel, his summer work at CARECEN SF, or the events that night?
