Jacob Herrera was 19 when he was fatally shot on January 13, 2008, on 24th Street near Capp Street in San Francisco’s Mission District. The neighborhood was experiencing a spike in gang-related violence that year, and Herrera’s death was one of several homicides involving young people in the area.

Investigators faced obstacles common to many cases from that period, including a lack of witness cooperation, and Herrera’s killing remains unsolved. Authorities have offered rewards between $50,000 and $250,000 for information on cold cases like this one in hopes of generating tips and achieving justice for families.

If anyone remembers the area or has information about that night in January 2008, please share what you know with investigators.
