Police continue to search for leads seven years after the unsolved murder case of a man fatally shot in the Morley Field area of Balboa Park, and are offering a reward up to $51,000 for information.
Brandon Robinson was attending a birthday party on Labor Day in Balboa Park on Sept. 6, 2009 at 8:24 p.m., when an unknown suspect fatally shot him.
Officers and paramedics found Robinson on the ground next to his motorcycle. He died later that evening at age 24.
The San Diego County Crime Stoppers and the San Diego Police Department's Homicide Unit are asking for the public to help identify and locate a suspect. The Governor's Office offered the $51,000 reward to anyone with information that could lead to an arrest and conviction in the case.
His family believes that Robinson may have been the victim of a bullet intended for someone else. He was a man that worked two jobs and had a lot of friends. Police said the evidence appears to support the family's theory.
"There was an unrelated fight, and perhaps somebody pulled out a gun and fired a round, and Brandon was an unintended victim and struck with a stray round that was fired," said Lt. Kevin Rooney of the San Diego Police Department, soon after Robinson was killed.
Anyone with information can call the SDPD Homicide Unit at (619)531-2293 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888)580-8477.
