Authorities have announced an increased reward of $25,000 for help in solving a 2016 killing in Oceanside.
Shortly after 10 p.m. on March 22, 2016, patrol officers responding to a report of a shooting found 35-year-old Brandon Keiser lying mortally wounded on a sidewalk in the 400 block of South Freeman Street in his hometown of Oceanside, according to the Oceanside Police Department.
Keiser died before paramedics could take him to a hospital.
He was shot after returning home from buying a pizza at a business on Mission Avenue, less than a half-mile from where he was killed, according to investigators.
Witnesses reported that the shooter or shooters fled in a small, dark- colored four-door sedan, possibly a late-model Dodge Dart.
Previously, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and San Diego County Crime Stoppers posted rewards of $10,000 and $1,000, respectively, for information that can help detectives determine who killed Keiser. The agencies have since raised that bounty by $14,000.
