$100,000 Reward Offered for San Francisco Cold Case Murder

The San Francisco Police Department has announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the 1991 fatal stabbing of 30-year-old Karl Holmberg, whose case remains unsolved. Holmberg was attacked by a group of young men on August 3, 1991, at Hayes and Laguna streets and was fatally stabbed during the assault. After being wounded, he managed to walk to Fell Street before collapsing and later died at San Francisco General Hospital. Authorities have not disclosed whether Holmberg was specifically targeted or knew his attackers, and details about the motive and the exact number of assailants remain unclear. Police are urging anyone with information to contact Investigator Thomas Newland or use anonymous tip lines in hopes that the renewed reward and attention will generate new leads in the decades-old case.
