Huan Zhou Chen was an 83-year-old man who was fatally attacked in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood. On January 24, 2010, after exiting the Muni T-Third Street line at 3rd Street and Oakdale Avenue and while walking toward his assisted living facility, he was assaulted by a group of six juvenile males. The attackers struck him on the head, and he fell, hitting his head on the sidewalk. Chen was found bleeding and disoriented and taken to San Francisco General Hospital; although initially discharged, his injuries proved fatal and he died on March 19, 2010.

The assault has been described as senseless and remains unsolved. The San Francisco Police Department and the Mayor’s Office have offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the attackers. No arrests have been announced, and the family continues to grieve and seek answers. If anyone has information about the January 24, 2010 attack or the group involved, please come forward.
