On August 2, 2010 at 1pm, Mr. Philip DiMartino was found stabbed to death in his apartment on Hermann Street in San Francisco. Mr. DiMartino was known to frequent bars in the Castro District. Anyone with information about this case or Mr. DiMartino is urged to please contact the San Francisco Police Department.Additionally, Officer Samson Chan provided us with a few additional details this afternoon. According to Chan, there was no evidence of forced entry at DiMartino's residence. And, despite what some have speculated, Chan says that there's "no evidence showing that there's any link" between the DiMartino case and that of Hugues de la Plaza, the French-American citizen found stabbed to death inside his apartment in Hayes Valley in 2007. Chan also stated that police do not have any suspects in custody at this time. We'll update with more details as they develop. In the meantime, call the SFPD's anonymous tip line at 415-575-4444 if you have any information about the case.
