Temajtomas told SFPD officers that he was in his sleeping bag, which was set on fire while he was asleep.

He was brought to a local hospital but died the following day due to the injuries he sustained from the incident.

The case was determined as a homicide through the investigation done by the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

The police department has announced the $25, 000 reward for any details that will identify, arrest and finally convict the suspect or suspects in the case.
