The Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering $25,000 as a reward for any information leading to the identification and arrest of the killers, who were responsible for the murder of Calvin Riley, the 20-year-old baseball player for the San Joaquin Delta College Mustangs.
The late baseball prospect was fatally shot while playing Pokémon Go, an augmented reality mobile game, at San Francisco’s Aquatic Park on August 6, 2016.
Riley was walking with a friend (whose name is not disclosed by the FBL) when the incident took place.
According to the friend, who was a short distance away from Riley, he heard a gunshot from somewhere close and saw the baseball player fall to the ground.
Murder Cause of the Baseball Player Still Unknown, But Another Clue is Revealed
Surprisingly, there was no confrontation or robbery from the killers; Riley’s phone and wallet were untouched. This made the situation worse as the FBI was left confused about the motive for the killing.
After more than nine years of the incidents, the FBI released a new sketch of a second person of interest in the case: a man with a beard and glasses who was seen recording video near the crime scene.
The first suspect’s sketch (one without the beard) was released shortly after the sketch. He is believed to be an African-American male, and was accompanied by a blonde woman (reported age is between 20 and 30 at the crime date).
The bearded individual was apparently recording videos at the scene of the crime. Two suspicious vehicles, a 2015 white Hyundai Sonata and a dark Audi A3 Wagon, were also identified at the Aquatic Park area and were even left together shortly after the shooting.
If you have any information related to this case, you are urged to contact the FBI’s San Francisco Field Office at (415) 553-7400 or submit a tip online.
