Sukhpal Singh Sodhi, a 50-year-old Daly City resident and United Cab driver, was shot and killed in San Francisco’s Mission District on August 4, 2002. He was driving home after his shift when gunfire struck his taxi, causing it to crash into a parked car and an electrical pole; the impact produced a power outage. He was pronounced dead at the scene with a single gunshot wound.

Police initially speculated he might have been an unintended victim of gang-related gunfire. Given that his brother Balbir Singh Sodhi had been murdered in a high-profile hate crime less than a year earlier, Sikh groups pressed for the investigation to consider a hate-motivated motive; police reported they found no evidence to support that theory and treated the shooting as a random act of violence. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

Did anyone in the Mission District see or hear anything that night, or have information about shootings or suspicious activity on August 4, 2002?
