Victor Carson, 41, was shot and killed near his home in San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunters Point on the evening of May 3, 2008. The neighborhood’s long history of gang-related violence and a wider rise in the city’s homicide count that year provide the context for his death, which police described as part of ongoing violence in the area.

Investigators have classified the case as cold because of a lack of leads or arrests. The San Francisco Police Department continues to offer rewards and urges anyone with information to contact the homicide detail or use the anonymous tip line. If anyone knew Victor, saw activity in the Bayview-Hunters Point that night, or has information that could reopen this case, please come forward.
