Neilson Virgil III Bates was 26 when he was fatally shot in San Francisco on June 28, 2011. The circumstances of his killing remain largely unsolved, and the San Francisco Police Department has classified the matter as a cold case.

Bates’ death occurred during a period of rising gun violence in parts of San Francisco, particularly in neighborhoods affected by gang activity. Investigators reported that the probe was hampered by a lack of witnesses and evidence, and the SFPD has urged anyone with information to come forward, offering rewards for tips that could lead to arrests in unsolved homicides.

Does anyone have information about Neilson Bates, his movements around June 28, 2011, or contacts who might help investigators?
