Brandon W Robinson was 23 when he was found mortally wounded next to his motorcycle in the Morley Field area of Balboa Park, San Diego, on the evening of September 6, 2009. A nearby citizen reported a gunshot at about 8:24 PM; officers and paramedics located Robinson with a gunshot wound and he was taken to a trauma center, where he died around 12:41 AM. He had been attending a birthday party in the park and was believed to be an unintended target.

The case remained unsolved. The San Diego Police Department and Crime Stoppers offered a reward of up to $52,500 for information leading to an arrest — $50,000 from the Governor’s Office, $1,000 from Crime Stoppers and $1,500 from family and friends. Authorities renewed appeals on the one-year anniversary and Robinson’s parents, Donna Jones-Robinson and Larry Robinson, joined calls for information as the family sought closure.

If anyone was at the park that night or has information about the shooting, please contact the San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit.
