SF Offers $50K Reward in Wheelchair-Bound Man Killing

The San Francisco Police Department announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the fatal Aug. 5, 2024, shooting of 32-year-old Keith Albert in the Mission District near 20th and Shotwell Streets (3300 block of 20th Street). Police released images of a person of interest variously described as having black hair and wearing dark clothing with a gray backpack, or dark clothing with red gloves, glasses and a gray backpack, and say the suspect remains at large; investigators also say there may have been a physical altercation before the shooting. Officers and medics rendered aid but Albert was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities urged anyone with information to contact the SFPD Homicide Unit at 415-553-9249, the Department Operations Center after hours at 415-553-1071, or to report anonymously via 415-575-4444 or TIP411. The reward follows a June policy change that made it easier to pay anonymous tipsters or people with past criminal histories.
