Edward Adam French, a 71-year-old photographer, was shot and killed on July 16, 2017, during a robbery at the Twin Peaks scenic overlook in San Francisco. He had been photographing the under-construction Salesforce Tower early that morning when two men, identified as Fantasy Decuir and Lamonte Mims, approached and tried to steal his camera. During the struggle Decuir shot French, who later died, and the pair fled with his Canon camera; Mims is reported to have kicked French before they left.

The suspects later tried to sell the stolen camera in the SOMA neighborhood. Less than two weeks after the shooting the same pair are said to have robbed two tourists at gunpoint outside St. Mary’s Cathedral, a crime that helped lead to their identification and arrest. Trial testimony included security footage and witness accounts showing the robbery and shooting, and prosecutors characterized the killing as motivated by stealing French’s equipment.

If anyone was at Twin Peaks that morning or saw someone trying to sell a Canon camera in SOMA shortly afterward, please share what was seen or any tips that might still help close remaining questions.
