Jeffrey Vandergrift

San Francisco Police Department

A body found in the water off Pier 39 on Wednesday has been identified as missing San Francisco radio host Jeffrey Vandergrift, according to the San Francisco Medical Investigations Bureau.

San Francisco police first responded to reports of a person in the water at Pier 39 just before 5 p.m

On Thursday, the San Francisco coroner confirmed the body was that of 54-year-old Vandergrift, who was last seen at his King Street home in late February.

His employer, Wild 94.9, said there had been no traceable activity on his phone, credit cards or bank accounts since he was reported missing.

His wife revealed on his radio station’s social media channels that Vandergrift likely “won’t be coming back” based on personal information leaked in early March.

Police suspect no crime in Vandergrift’s death.

A recruit from the California Sheriff’s Department who was killed Tuesday in a freeway shootout in Oakland has been identified, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office confirmed.

David Nguyen, 28, was off duty when he was shot dead while driving home from the academy, authorities said. He was supposed to graduate in February.

Investigators have not yet determined if Nguyen was the target of the shooting.

“I don’t understand why anyone would choose to use their gun, probably for nothing,” the Alameda County Sheriff’s Sheriff said. JD Nelson told FOX 2 about the Bay Area. He called Nguyen “popular” and “highly motivated”.

Nguyen’s family and girlfriend were “dismayed” by his killing, FOX 2 reported.

After Nguyen was shot near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge toll booth, his vehicle crashed into a guardrail. According to FOX 2, he was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

“In loving memory of Recruit David V. Nguyen of the 172nd Academy of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a Twitter post along with photos of Nguyen.

Later Tuesday, employees from the sheriff’s office and the California Highway Patrol lined up and saluted his flag-draped coffin as it was loaded into a coroner’s van at an Oakland hospital.

“Our deputies have just loaded the body of our young police academy recruit for a law enforcement procession from Highland Hospital to our Coroner’s Bureau,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement shared with video on Twitter on Tuesday. “We are heartbroken and disturbed by this senseless act of gun violence.”
