Zieman, a 30-year-old San Francisco native worked as a para-educator at Sherman Elementary, his alma mater.

Just before 8 a.m. Wednesday, around the start of school, a car hit and killed a paraeducator outside Sherman Elementary in San Francisco.

A friend and fellow musician talked to ABC7 about Zieman on Friday at a memorial outside the school.

"Andrew was deeply loved by everybody. I had known him for 15 years. We make music together. We were in a group called City Zoo," said Oscar Cuadra, a friend and fellow musician.

Grief counselors were at Sherman elementary as students returned for the first time since Wednesday's accident.
