Brandon Evans, 20, was killed on November 29, 2008, during an outing to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. He had recently moved from San Diego to San Francisco to pursue music and education and was attending a social gathering at the horseshoe pits near the Conservatory of Flowers when shots rang out. About 100 people were at the event; Evans was struck by a long-range bullet and died while being transported to the hospital.

Local residents had warned that large gatherings in the park felt unsafe because of frequent disturbances involving groups of young people, and there was no police presence the night of the shooting. No arrests have been made in Evans’ death, and investigators have struggled for leads amid a lack of witnesses or actionable evidence. Family and friends continue to call for information that could lead to justice.

If anyone who attended that gathering or lived nearby remembers unusual activity or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
