Brian Austin, 29, was killed on October 16, 2007, in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood. He was found late at night with multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators initially could not determine whether the shooting was random or targeted.

The investigation was hindered by a lack of witnesses and limited evidence at the scene, and no immediate suspects were identified. The case became cold and remains unsolved. Authorities have made public appeals for information, and the Mayor’s Office offered rewards in unsolved homicides, including this one.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the San Francisco Police Department’s homicide unit or submit anonymous tips through the available channels.
