Ilario Bertuccio, an 81-year-old janitor, was shot and killed on December 20, 1973, in San Francisco’s Bay View district while walking home from work. He was struck four times in the shoulder and chest and died at the scene. The killing was one of a series of racially motivated attacks in San Francisco from October 1973 to April 1974 known as the Zebra murders.

Those attacks were carried out by a group of four black men who called themselves the Death Angels and targeted white victims. Investigators later arrested Manuel Moore, Larry Green, Jessie Lee Cooks, and J.C.X. Simon; all four were convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and received life sentences. An informant from the Death Angels’ warehouse cooperated with police and received immunity.

Did anyone in the Bay View area at that time remember seeing Bertuccio that evening or have information about the attack?
