Chalay Saelee, 61, was shot and killed near Fisherman’s Wharf on May 14, 2025. Police dispatches placed the initial gunfire around 1:10 p.m. at or near Columbus Avenue and North Point Street; officers later found Saelee in his vehicle at Leavenworth and Beach streets, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The San Francisco Medical Examiner’s Office later confirmed his identity.

Detectives focused on a suspect vehicle seen in the tourist corridor. Investigators say a man in one car fired into another occupied vehicle as it tried to drive away; a 44-year-old, Abraham Torres, surrendered at a nearby police station within hours. Prosecutors charged Torres with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon while the investigation remained active and no public motive had been established.

Saelee was described by family as a father of four; relatives sought help covering funeral costs and community pages recorded the local grief. If anyone was in the Fisherman’s Wharf area that afternoon and saw the incident or the vehicles involved, can you share what you remember?
