The San Francisco Police Department is renewing its appeal for information regarding the unsolved 2006 murder of 17-year-old Aubrey Abrakasa Jr. The victim was shot multiple times and killed at the intersection of Grove and Baker streets in San Francisco on August 14, 2006. Nearly two decades later, investigators have not publicly identified or arrested a suspect in the case, leaving the crime unsolved. To assist in the ongoing investigation, the San Francisco Mayor’s Office has authorized a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for Abrakasa's killing. The police emphasize that individuals providing information may remain anonymous, including those with previous arrests or convictions. In connection with the renewed appeal, Aubrey’s mother, Paulette Brown, will hold an event recognizing homicide victims at the scene of the crime, Grove and Baker streets, at 3 p.m. on Friday, August 14, 2026. SFPD investigators are scheduled to attend this event. Brown has spent years advocating for justice for her son and supporting other families affected by unsolved murders. The SFPD Homicide Detail is urging anyone with information about the murder to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 415-575-4444 or by texting TIP411 with the word “SFPD” at the beginning of the message. The department continues to seek public assistance in identifying the perpetrators of this violent crime, which has remained cold for 20 years. Authorities reiterate the importance of community cooperation in solving cold cases and bringing closure to victims' families. No further details regarding potential suspects have been released to the public at this time. The reward money is available for information that leads directly to an arrest and subsequent prosecution. The case remains active, and investigators are reviewing all new leads with the same urgency as when the crime occurred. The public is encouraged to share any relevant information, no matter how small it may seem, as it could be crucial in solving this decades-old homicide.
