At the time, Shepard was wearing a black Nike hoodie sweatshirt with the sleeves ripped off, a burgundy harness, gray khaki pants and white shoes with blue and orange check marks, the police said.

Shepard is five-foot-five, with his head shaved, and has brown eyes. He weighs 98 pounds.

Police said Shepard has a pre-existing medical condition and was “at risk.” He frequently rides Muni or BART, the police said.
