Ermias Kassaye, 26, was shot and killed near his home in the Ingleside neighborhood of San Francisco on June 28, 2012. He had been returning from soccer practice in Oakland when he was attacked; the shooting was described as execution-style at the intersection of Mount Vernon Avenue and Howth Street. Family reported all his belongings were left with him, and they believe mistaken identity may have played a role.

Kassaye was a City College student since 2005 who hoped to become a firefighter before focusing on soccer coaching. He was remembered as kind and ambitious, devoted to helping underprivileged children in Ethiopia through soccer; the Ermias Foundation was established in his memory. Police say a six-foot-tall man with dreadlocks was seen fleeing in a Pontiac accompanied by an SUV, but the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Ermias, saw him that night, or has information about the described vehicles or suspect, please come forward.
