Robert Obryant, 31, was shot and killed while sitting in a parked car at the intersection of Bayshore Boulevard and Cortland Avenue in San Francisco on May 22, 2007. He was with a female companion who was not harmed when someone approached the vehicle and opened fire, striking Obryant multiple times; he was pronounced dead shortly after emergency responders arrived. No motive was clear at the time, and investigators said no immediate suspects or arrests were identified.

The investigation stalled on several fronts, including limited witness cooperation, and police stated the shooting may have been a deliberate targeting though no details about conflicts or threats were available. The case remains one of the unsolved homicides the San Francisco Police Department’s Cold Case Unit has tried to re-examine using new leads and forensic methods. Did anyone in the Bayshore and Cortland Avenue area in 2007 see or hear anything that could help investigators?
