Manuel O’Neal was 22 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on January 9, 2015, in Hayes Valley, San Francisco. He and three other young men — Harith Atchan, 21; David Saucier, 20; and Yalani Chinyamurindi, 19 — were double-parked in a car at Laguna and Page streets around 10 p.m. when the shooter fired at least 18 rounds into the vehicle, killing all four occupants instantly.

Authorities identified Lee Farley as the assailant and linked the attack to an apparent feud between two Fillmore gangs, the Page Street gang and Mac Block, although the victims’ families have denied any gang involvement. Farley was arrested while incarcerated in federal custody and faced multiple legal proceedings over the following years.

The case became prolonged and legally complex, with appeals that affected gang enhancement evidence and repeated preliminary proceedings. Farley pleaded not guilty; in November 2024 a jury found him guilty of the murders. Anyone who knew Manuel O’Neal or has information about that night is asked to come forward.
