Marcelino Canul, 24 and living in San Francisco, was fatally shot on September 1, 2008, in the Mission District. The San Francisco Police Department conducted an investigation but the case went cold after officials said there were no witnesses and insufficient evidence to identify a suspect at the time.

The killing occurred during a year when the city’s homicide rate was notably high and young adults ages 18 to 29 were among the most frequent victims. Authorities have sought public assistance over the years and at times offered rewards for information that could lead to identifying and arresting those responsible. Canul’s family continues to appeal to the community for any leads that might bring justice.

If anyone has information about Canul, where he spent time that night, or saw anything in the Mission District on September 1, 2008, please come forward.
