James Jamonte Turner, 23, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of April 18, 2009, in San Francisco after leaving Club Boss at 750 Harrison Street. Around 2:07 a.m., Turner was walking near 3rd and Harrison when he encountered a group loitering at the corner. A fight broke out between two groups and someone fired a gunshot into the air, prompting Turner and others to run.

As Turner ran along 3rd Street toward Folsom Street he was pursued and shot in the back; he died soon after. Many witnesses have not come forward and the case remains unsolved. The Mayor’s Office authorized a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction; investigators continue to seek public assistance.

If anyone has information about who was involved that night, please contact the San Francisco Police Department’s Homicide Unit or the anonymous tip line.
