Overview

  • The FBI released two fresh sketches: one of a man believed to have driven a vehicle with a young blonde woman and another of a bearded individual wearing glasses who was seen recording at the scene.
  • Authorities named two suspicious vehicles—a 2015 white Hyundai Sonata and a dark Audi A3 wagon—that arrived together shortly before Riley was shot and left in tandem afterward.
  • Calvin Riley, a 20-year-old pitcher at Delta College, was gunned down while playing Pokémon Go at Aquatic Park on August 6, 2016, and investigators note his phone and wallet remained untouched.
  • Investigators highlighted that no security cameras covered the promenade at the time, making the sketches and witness accounts the primary leads in the case.
  • Riley’s father has publicly criticized the original U.S. Park Police investigation and said that nearly a decade later his family still lacks answers.
