A Murder Most Foul: Police Seek Public's Aid in Fatal Robbery
The San Francisco Police Department has turned to the general public for any leads in solving an April robbery in SoMa that left a 63-year-old woman dead.
On April 10 in front of 680 Folsom Street, an unknown man robbed Helen Canafax, described by police as "a popular and generous woman who often gave money to the homeless." During the altercation, she was knocked to the pavement; she later suffered an embolism and died several weeks later.
The suspect fled across the street, ran through the plaza at 201 Third Street, and hasn't been seen since. He is described as a black man aged 35 to 40 and weighing around 180 pounds. He wore a gray knit cap, a red or black sweatshirt, and dark pants. ![]()
