Pepefou Faalogoifo, age 38, was tragically killed on October 10, 2007, in San Francisco, California. The incident occurred near the intersection of 25th and Folsom Streets in the Mission District just after 11 PM while Faalogoifo was walking to a store. He was shot multiple times during this walk, and emergency responders pronounced him dead shortly after he was transported to San Francisco General Hospital. At the time, the suspect responsible for the shooting remained at large.
The circumstances of the shooting suggest it was a sudden, targeted attack, though no concrete motive was identified in public reports. San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) has treated this case as a priority unsolved homicide, with ongoing appeals to the public for information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator. In an effort to generate new leads, the city of San Francisco announced a $75,000 reward for any information that could assist in solving this case.
Pepefou Faalogoifo's death was one of many homicides that marked the Mission District during that time, which had been experiencing a period of elevated violence. Despite extensive efforts by SFPD, including outreach to local communities and offering an anonymous tip line, no significant breakthrough has occurred, and the case remains unsolved. The community has remembered Faalogoifo through memorials and tributes, emphasizing the tragedy of a life taken suddenly and violently.
