Complete List of 178 Civilians Killed by SFPD since 1939 

Back in April of 2014, I was the first public citizen and blogger to request, obtain and share on the web, the full list of all civilians killed in officer-involved-shootings by members of the San Francisco police force. The list of names totaled 168.

Since then, there have been ten additional fatal encounters between a civilian and an SFPD officer and the names of those individuals have been added to this list, bringing it up to 178.


Unlike two-years ago, the police department refused to release the race of the dead persons, citing state privacy codes. The full SFPD letter and page with the new names is share here. This is, as far as I know, the most accurate list of it's kind. Lemme know if any fatalities have been omitted.
