Lawrence Collins, 20, was fatally shot on February 22, 2013, outside the Minnie and Lovie Ward Recreation Center on Capitol Avenue in San Francisco’s Oceanview neighborhood. He was found with a gunshot wound to the head and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Collins was a youth advocate and a graduate of the Inner City Youth program who often spoke to younger members about staying in school. Reports note he had been released from jail about two weeks before his death. His killing was the sixth homicide in San Francisco that year and local leaders remembered him as a promising community figure.

If anyone who knew Lawrence or who was at the recreation center that day has information, please share what you remember.
