One Year Anniversary of the Murder of Brandon Keiser

$ 1,000 Reward

On March 22, 2016, at approximately 10:05 p.m., Oceanside police officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 400 block of S. Freeman Street.  Officers arrived on scene and found the victim, Brandon Keiser, a 35-year-old Oceanside resident lying on the sidewalk in front of 410 S. Freeman Street.  Keiser was suffering from at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Detectives from the Crimes of Violence Unit responded to the scene and spoke to witnesses who reported hearing an argument followed by gunshots.  Detectives are investigating the possibility that Keiser and the suspect knew each other and at this point, do not believe it was a random act.
