On December 15, 2007, 20-year-old Hispanic male Javier Nah-Carballo was fatally shot in San Francisco’s Mission District around 5 a.m. The shooting occurred near 18th Street and South Van Ness Avenue; Javier was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and died of his wounds. A second victim, 21-year-old Jose Alberto Chel Camara, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses described two male assailants in their twenties, but reports differed on whether one or both fired shots. The suspects fled in a black or dark blue Ford Mustang or a Toyota, eastbound on Geary Boulevard. No arrests were made at the time and the case remained unsolved; memorial flowers were later placed at the corner where Javier was shot.

If anyone has information about that night or the vehicles seen fleeing, please come forward.
