Derrick Bell, 21, was killed in San Francisco, California, on April 28, 2007. His death is listed among unresolved homicides from that period and is described as having few witnesses or promising leads, leaving the case cold.

The San Francisco Police Department is said to keep such cases open and may reopen them if new information arrives; the city has at times offered financial rewards ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 for tips that lead to arrests and prosecutions. Bell’s death is noted as part of a broader pattern of violent crime and homicide that San Francisco has worked to address over the years.
