Friday, September 12, 2014 will mark the four year anniversary of the murder of Adolfo Ignacio Celedon Bravo, known to his family as “Fito”. 

Celedon was a Chilean native who moved to Berkeley to be with his fiancé. He was murdered on his 35th birthday.
On the morning of September 12, 2010 at approximately 3:41 a.m., 

Celedon was walking home with his fiancé after attending a party. At the intersection of Adeline and Emerson Streets, the couple was confronted by two male suspects apparently intending to rob them. During the robbery Celedon was shot and his fiancé was punched in the face before the suspects fled in what was described as a “dark older model SUV” (Sport Utility Vehicle.) 

There is currently a $20,000 reward being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect or suspects responsible for Celedon’s murder. 

Detectives continue to actively investigate Celedon’s murder and are asking for the community’s help. Even the smallest detail could be critical in solving this crime.
