The killing occurred during a violent year for the city and has been classified as a cold case by the San Francisco Police Department. Authorities suspect Salazar may have been the victim of a mistaken-identity attack, but a specific motive has not been established and witnesses or sufficient evidence have not emerged.

The SFPD continues to seek information and has offered rewards of $50,000 to $250,000 for tips that lead to arrests and prosecutions. Salazar’s unsolved death is among several unresolved homicides from 2008 that reflect the investigative challenges the city faced that year.
