It’s been one year since 41-year old Golden Hill resident Vaafuti Togiailua was gunned down in his car, and died days later. Still, the San Diego Police Department is searching for the person who took Togiailua’s life.
On the morning of November 5th, Togiailua was in his car on the 900 block of 26th street in Golden Hill when a motorcyclist pulled up next to his car and fired shots through the driver’s window.
Witnesses who saw the motorcyclist pull the trigger describe the person with a full helmet and a long sleeved, gray jumpsuit.
Togiailua was shot half a dozen times in the chest and head just two blocks from his apartment. He died several days later.
Family and friends remember Togiailua as a loving father and popular rugby coach. The reasoning behind Togiailua’s tragic death remains a mystery.
San Diego Police are asking anyone who has any information on the shooting to come forward.
