So sorry for your loss. I am sure you must be aware that the SAPD broadly distributed that picture to all media. It is on their Twitter feed. It is not a mug shot. It is just a picture. We hope the killer will be found and prosecuted.

The main picture that was first released was a booking photo, I was speaking to his gf about replacing it with better images….like the one u posted in this article with the green sweatshirt, I emailed you earlier today actually about it!
Thanks! I suspect the picture provided by the police was actually a DMV photo.
