Eddie Wayne Tate, known as Tennessee, was fatally shot on December 18, 2016, in San Francisco. He was 51 and living on the streets in the Mission District at the northwest corner of 16th Street and South Van Ness Avenue. Tate and 27-year-old Lindsay Elaine McCollum were both shot inside a wooden box they used as shelter at about 8:46 PM and died at the scene.

The San Francisco Police Department is investigating and has authorized a $200,000 reward for information leading to identification, arrest, and conviction of the person or people responsible. A composite sketch of a person of interest has been released and posters offering the reward have been circulated around the crime scene area. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Lindsay McCollum had been living on and off the streets for about three years and struggled with heroin addiction and mental illness; her family remembers her as talented, intelligent, and fond of animals, reading, and dancing. Anyone with information about the killings is asked to come forward.
