Overview

  • FBI released sketches of two persons of interest, identifying one as a vehicle driver and another observed recording video at the scene.
  • Authorities identified two vehicles—a 2015 white Hyundai Sonata and a dark Audi A3 wagon—that arrived together before the killing and left in tandem afterward.
  • Investigators noted that Riley’s phone and wallet were untouched, indicating robbery was not the motive.
  • After criticism of the U.S. Park Police’s inexperience in homicide investigations, the FBI took over the case in 2023.
  • Nearly nine years after the shooting, Riley’s father says the lack of progress has torn his family apart.
