Santos R Cantos-Alana, a 21-year-old man, was fatally shot on April 18, 2008, in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood. Authorities described the incident as a targeted shooting with unclear motives. Investigators have not solved the case.

The killing occurred during a year when San Francisco’s homicide rate was notably high. The San Francisco Police Department has continued to treat the case as an active cold homicide, offering rewards of up to $50,000 for information that leads to an arrest and prosecution. Progress has been hampered by a lack of witnesses willing to come forward; the SFPD has encouraged anyone with tips to contact the Homicide Detail or use the anonymous tip line.

Does anyone in the Bayview community from that time have information about Santos Cantos-Alana or the circumstances around April 18, 2008?
