Vincent Wollin, 69, was shot twice in the back and killed on January 28, 1974, in San Francisco while rummaging through trash cans for items to repair and sell to supplement his Social Security income. His death was one of four fatal shootings that day and part of the Zebra murders, a series of racially motivated attacks that targeted white people in San Francisco from October 1973 to April 1974.

The Zebra attacks were carried out by a group of four men who called themselves the Death Angels. Investigators later arrested Manuel Moore, Larry Green, Jessie Lee Cooks, and J.C.X. Simon; they were convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder based on testimony from an informant who worked at the warehouse where the group was based. The informant received immunity and entered a witness protection program with his family.

The killings were described as random and brutal and were driven by an extremist interpretation of Nation of Islam teachings that labeled white people as devils. Does anyone have memories of Vincent Wollin or information about the events of January 28, 1974?
