Four men were shot, two of them fatally, at a Crocker-Amazon playground basketball court in April, and the SFPD is now seeking the public's help in finding the shooter.
The shooting happened on a Sunday afternoon, April 3, 2022, at Alice Chalmers Playground. It appeared to have been an ambush of some kind, with one or more suspects fleeing in a waiting vehicle.
Two men suffered non-life-threatening injuries, but the other two were gravely wounded, and a witness described "a lot of blood," adding, "It was everywhere."
The victims were later identified as 22-year-old Brandon Cheese of San Mateo and 20-year-old Kieran Carlson of San Francisco. As KPIX reported, Cheese was reportedly at that park that day to console another friend who had lost a friend a year earlier in a similar sort of shooting.
Now the SFPD is announcing a newly authorized $50,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in the case.
They have also released a photo of the suspect vehicle in the case for the first time, which is described as a 2018-2022 Honda Accord.
