Friday, September 12, 2014 will mark the fourth anniversary of the murder of the Chilean citizen Adolfo Celedon in a crime committed by unknown people. The Consulate General of Chile in San Francisco regrets the tragic death of an innocent young person, which occurred in Berkeley, California, when he was walking home with his fiancee on the day of his 35th birthday. 

Since then the Berkeley Police Department has been carrying out an investigation in order to solve this case, which unfortunately has not concluded yet. The Consulate General of Chile expresses its appreciation to the Berkeley Police for the proceedings that have been conducted in this investigation and will continue collaborating with the police as well as with the family of the Chilean citizen Adolfo Celedon. 

This crime has a high priority and is a sensitive matter of concern for the Consulate General of Chile in San Francisco. We request the community and witnesses of this assassination to provide to the Berkeley Police any piece of information that could be helpful to solve the investigation. 

The Consulate General of Chile supports and encourages an expeditious investigation and prompt solution to this case by the appropriate authorities, so that the family of Adolfo can achieve the peace they deserve.
