Jorge Martinez, 44, a San Bruno resident, was shot and killed in San Francisco’s Mission District on March 17, 2017. The shooting happened around 12:50 a.m. near 19th and Capp streets. Martinez was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Initial San Francisco Police Department investigation identified one suspect but no immediate arrests were reported.

Federal prosecutors later linked the killing to MS-13 gang activity. They say Elmer Rodriguez, known as Gordo and identified as a leader of the MS-13 20th Street clique, ordered Martinez’s murder after identifying him as a potential rival Norteño while Martinez celebrated his birthday at a bar following a Warriors game with his son. Rodriguez allegedly directed an associate to follow Martinez from the bar and shoot him. Rodriguez was convicted in the broader federal case targeting MS-13 in the Bay Area.

Did anyone in the Mission District see Martinez that night or have information about who followed him from the bar?
