Brandon Griffin, 41, was shot and killed on the morning of August 22, 2021, on an East Oakland sidewalk in the 1900 block of Foothill Boulevard near San Antonio Park. He was attending a street memorial for a homicide victim when an unknown assailant approached and shot him multiple times; Griffin died at the scene.

Crime Stoppers of Oakland and police are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Anyone who was at the memorial or who has information about activity in the 1900 block of Foothill Boulevard around that date is asked to contact the Oakland Police.
