David Haughton was killed on October 31, 2000, in a targeted shooting on the 400 block of Northaven Drive in Daly City, California. The attack occurred on Halloween night during trick-or-treat hours when a vehicle pulled up and the assailant gunned him down; investigators described the killing as deliberate and believed Haughton was specifically targeted.

No motive or suspects have been publicly disclosed, and the case remains unsolved. It is one of several unsolved Daly City homicides from that period that raised concerns about community safety. Local law enforcement continues to seek information that could lead to a resolution.

If anyone has information about David Haughton, where he spent time that night, or saw a suspicious vehicle on Northaven Drive on October 31, 2000, please come forward.
