As the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) works to bring resolution to cold cases, they are now calling upon the community for any leads in the unsolved 2006 murder of Aubrey Abrakasa. The 17-year-old student was gunned down over 18 years ago, and the SFPD has renewed their plea for information, as reported on the department's official news release.

Aubrey's mother, Paulette Brown, has been instrumental in the advocacy for her son and the families of other homicide victims. Together with the SFPD's Homicide Detail and Crime Strategies Division, she has contributed to creating a digital posterboard displaying homicide victims' reward bulletins. Set to be displayed in the lobbies of district stations, the partnership hopes to spur new leads in cases with long-awaited answers. Carrying the weight of her son's memory, Paulette Brown will champion his cause and the pursuit of justice at Grove and Baker Streets on Wednesday.

Ms. Brown, who will be present at the site of her son's murder on the 18th anniversary at 3:00 PM, will distribute flyers and interact with the media to reignite interest in the case. The SFPD has confirmed that Chief of Police William Scott will also attend the event in solidarity and renewed commitment to resolving this tragic chapter.

With the authorities' ongoing efforts to solicit the public's help, the local community is encouraged to come forward with any information that may facilitate the closure of this case. The SFPD has issued a crime bulletin that highlights Aubrey Abrakasa's unsolved homicide case, seen as a clarion call meant to urge those who might be withholding valuable information. Heading the text with 'SFPD', anyone with details relevant to this or any other homicide can reach out anonymously via text-a-tip to TIP411 or by calling the anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444.
