I am trying to run a GAE app on localhost:8080, but it was apparently occupied, even after shutting down and restarting my computer. I ran sudo lsof -i :8080. Lo and behold there is something sill running with PID 66. What can I do to kill that process and free up 8080 again?

Turns out it's just kill -9 PID, you might need sudo. Found the answer on maclife.com in the article Terminal 101: Track and Kill Processes.

Find out what Process ID (pid) is using the required port (e.g port 5434).
ps aux | grep 5434
Kill that process:
kill -9 <pid>

lsof -i @localhost:8080
kill -9 <<PID>>

While this may work, it repeats what the OP posted and could use an explanation. – bertieb – 2015-09-24T14:30:53.147
This answer is the most clear and has best feedback in terminal! ps aux | grep 5434 doesn't say at all which is the PID!! – mesqueeb – 2018-10-04T08:03:27.757
Nothing happens when I enter lsof -i @localhost:8080 – shim – 2019-10-17T15:03:22.480

Merging answers from above in one line: kill $(lsof -t -i:8080)
lsof -t returns the PID and passes that to kill.
