Nineteen-year-old Jacob Valdiviezo was shot and killed on March 30, 2013, in San Francisco’s Mission District. Home from college on spring break, he was walking near his Bryant Street residence close to 24th Street when a grey four-door sedan stopped, a gunman got out, confronted him and fired multiple shots that killed him at the scene.

Valdiviezo was a student and wide receiver at Lewis & Clark College in Portland. Family and friends remembered him as a bright young man who had worked to distance himself from neighborhood violence. Authorities said he may have been mistaken for a gang member; investigators faced limited witness cooperation and no suspects were immediately apprehended.

A candlelight vigil and peace march took place April 5, 2013, at 16th Street BART Plaza to honor him and call for an end to violence in the Mission. If anyone has information about the shooting, can you share what you know with the San Francisco Police Department?
