FBI sketch emerges in Calvin Riley Pokemon Go shooting in San Francisco after years of silence (Image via Getty) A new update has come in a case that has left many shocked for nearly a decade. A young college baseball pitcher, Calvin Riley was killed while playing a mobile game at a busy tourist spot. The case had gone quiet for years. Now the FBI has released a new clue that could possibly solve what happened that night. The victim's family is still mourning their loss; this case came to light back in 2016 in San Francisco, now in 2025 we are once again looking into this case. Calvin Riley was shot and killed while playing Pokemon Go in San Francisco in 2016 Shot and killed on the night of August 6, 2016, Calvin Riley was just 20 years old. Calvin Riley was out playing Pokemon Go with a buddy near Aquatic Park and Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco that evening. Someone came from behind at around 9:50 p. m. and shot Calvin Riley once in the chest. He died where he was; no words were spoken, no theft took place. Calvin Riley had his phone and wallet on him, therefore it is unclear what the motive could have been. At the time, police shared a sketch of one suspect and asked the public for help in finding two cars – a dark-colored Audi A3 wagon (model year 2006–2009) and a white Hyundai Sonata (model year 2013). But no arrests were made. FBI shares sketch of second man after nine years of silence In 2023, the FBI officially took over the case from U.S. Park Police, as Aquatic Park is on federal land. On June 25, 2025, the FBI released a new sketch of a second man they believe could be connected. He has glasses, a beard, and was seen recording video at the crime scene. They believe he was with the first suspect, who may have been driving the car and was also seen with a blonde woman. According to the FBI, both the Audi and Hyundai were seen arriving together just before the shooting and then leaving right after. Calvin Riley's father, Sean Riley, told NBC Bay Area that this tragedy has deeply hurt their family. 'It's been a nightmare going on nine years,' he said with tears. Calvin Riley was from Massachusetts and played baseball for San Joaquin Delta College.

FBI releases new info in 2016 slaying of man playing ‘Pokémon Go' in S.F.
The FBI released new information in the hopes of generating a new lead from the public in the unsolved case of a college baseball player who was mysteriously killed in 2016 while playing Pokémon Go in San Francisco. Calvin Riley was a 20-year-old pitcher for the Delta College Mustangs in Stockton when he was fatally shot while playing the smartphone game Pokémon Go with a friend in Aquatic Park. Detectives had identified at least one suspect and two vehicles potentially connected to the shooting, but for years, could not identify a motive. In a recent release, FBI officials revealed a photo of their second suspect in the case, a man who was observed recording video at the crime scene. Officials offered up to $25,000 for any information leading to the identification and probable cause to arrest the subjects. Investigators previously released a sketch of their first suspect, a man they believe was the driver of a white car spotted leaving the scene shortly after the killing. The suspect was accompanied by a blonde woman in her 20s. Neither was identified. A graduate of Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo, Riley was with a close friend on a Saturday night at the popular tourist spot between Fort Mason and Fisherman's Wharf when he was shot. He died at the scene. Riley's friend, who was visiting from Boston, said the two had noticed the shadowy figure of a man standing near the park's museum right before Riley was shot. Right after, the man had disappeared. Riley's friend also spotted someone jumping into the passenger seat of a car that drove away. Riley's phone and wallet were also untouched. The victim's family and the U.S. Park Police, which was handling the case, announced in 2017 that they would offer a $110,000 reward for information leading to the killer's capture. But little came of it. Riley's father, Sean Riley, told reporters in 2021 that he believed the U.S. Park Police were not experienced enough to handle a homicide investigation. He also said he believed his son had been intentionally targeted.

Fresh wave of anti-ICE protests threatens uncertainty, volatility before Trump's massive military parade
Thousands of people amassed in major U.S. cities this week to protest President Donald Trump's immigration raids in Los Angeles – injecting fresh uncertainty in the nation's capital and beyond just days before Washington, D.C., hosts a massive, first-of-its-kind military parade. It is unclear what, if any, major demonstrations protesters are planning in coordination with Saturday's military parade; a $45 million event running through the city's downtown which will feature hundreds of military vehicles, including armored troop carriers, tanks and Chinook helicopters, winding through the city's roads and skies in celebration of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary. It also happens to be Trump's 79th birthday. However, the show of force and military grandeur takes place at a time when a wave of immigration protests in California – and Trump's attempts to quash the unrest by deploying thousands of U.S. troops to the state – have changed the national mood from tense to combustible, prompting a new wave of demonstrations and clashes with law enforcement in major cities across the U.S. Combined, the escalating skirmishes have also raised the specter of possible disruption during the patriotic parade, though officials stressed this week that they are closely monitoring the event and security in the surrounding area. Trump Doj Tells Court It Will Seek Dismissal Of Abrego Garcia Case Read On The Fox News App An immigration protest in Washington, D.C., on Monday afternoon was notably tame. However, the crowd was massive, drawing hundreds of protesters to the city's downtown area. Other demonstrations are slated to take place in the Washington, D.C.-area throughout the week, including a planned demonstration in the nearby Columbia Heights neighborhood. U.S. Park Police told reporters this week that they are tracking nine planned protests in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Trump, for his part, attempted to get ahead of any protests that could snarl the planned display of military might, warning that any demonstrators that attempted to disrupt the event "will be met with very heavy force." "I haven't even heard about a protest, but [there are] people that hate our country," he told reporters Tuesday afternoon. Judges V Trump: Here Are The Key Court Battles Halting The White House Agenda All the same, major protests continued to crop up this week in other major U.S. cities, and clashes with law enforcement personnel prompted dozens of arrests in New York and in various Texas cities, according to local law enforcement officials. In Washington, D.C., protesters massed peacefully outside the Justice Department headquarters on Monday to protest the administration's immigration crackdown and ICE raids. Many were also there to demand the release of a prominent labor leader, David Huerta, who was arrested in the Los Angeles protests late last week. Huerta, the president of California's Service Employees International Union (SEIU) chapter, was hospitalized due to injuries sustained during his arrest, according to the union. Huerta was released Monday evening on bail. He has since been charged with felony conspiracy to impede an officer, which carries a maximum penalty of up to six years in federal prison. "We're sick and tired of the illegal acts of the administration," Jaime Contreras, the executive vice president of SEIU's Capital Area District chapter, told Fox News Digital in an interview, pointing to the administration's arrest of Huerta and also the arrest of "so many innocent immigrants" in the U.S. who have been swept up in ICE raids. "All they want is to provide a better life for their family, which is why your ancestors came to this country," he said. The group, which included labor and union groups, among other protesters, marched past the Justice Department entrance and the FBI's headquarters downtown, chanting and holding signs. The demonstrators yelled, "Pam Bondi, shame on you!" as they gathered outside the entrance to the building. Nearby, employees at the J. Edgar Hoover Building – which since the 1970s has served as the FBI's national headquarters – could be seen watching the demonstration unfold from the confines of the building's infamously brutalist-style balconies. Trump's Remarks Could Come Back To Bite Him In Abrego Garcia Deportation Battle "I have one word for you today – enough," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-WA, who spoke at the demonstration in Washington, D.C., on Monday. "Enough of these mass ICE raids that are sweeping up innocent people of every legal status, tearing apart families and our communities." The Washington, D.C., protest also took place on the same day that the Trump administration's wider travel ban officially took hold. The ban prohibits nationals from 12 countries from traveling to the U.S. and imposes partial restrictions on nationals from seven additional countries. Some at the demonstration told Fox News Digital they had deep concerns about the chilling effect that the ban could have on migrants in the U.S., including individuals that have already submitted visas from now-banned countries on the list. Ultimately, Contreras told Fox News of the large crowd of protesters, "I think people are angry." "I think that people are getting sick and tired of being threatened, of the fear factors that are being used against our community," he said. "So yes, people are afraid— but people are also angry. And angry is a great organizing tool for all." Beyond Washington, the demonstrations and skirmishes add heat to an already fast-boiling standoff, as both the Trump administration and many protesters have said they have no plans to stand down from the fight. "We'll be back," some protesters chanted on Monday.

Trump warns that military parade protesters will face 'very heavy force'
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that anyone who protests at the U.S. military parade here on Saturday will be met with "very heavy force." Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that they're going to be "celebrating big on Saturday," referring to the parade that will wind its way through downtown Washington, D.C. "If there's any protester that wants to come out, they will be met with very big force," Trump said. "I haven't even heard about a protest, but you know, this is people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force." The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The president also addressed the protests of the administration's immigration raids in Los Angeles."These are paid insurrectionists," he said about the demonstrators. The military parade Saturday will mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and is expected to feature tanks and hundreds of other military vehicles and aircraft. It's estimated to cost about $45 million, including as much as $16 million to repair D.C. streets afterward, U.S. military officials said last month. Saturday is also Trump's 79th birthday. "We're going to have a fantastic June 14 parade, Flag Day. It's going to be an amazing day. We have tanks, we have planes, we have all sorts of things. And I think it's going to be great. We're going to celebrate our country for a change," Trump said Tuesday. Trump said that other countries celebrate the end of World War II and that the U.S. was the only country that did not. "And we're the one that won the war," said Trump, who added that if it weren't for the U.S., Americans would be speaking German or Japanese. "We won the war, and we're the only country that didn't celebrate it, and we're going to be celebrating big on Saturday," he said. Officials are expecting hundreds of thousands of attendees, Matt McCool, the U.S. Secret Service agent in charge of the Washington field office, said Monday. McCool said they plan to deploy "thousands of agents, officers and specialists from across the country." People attending the parade or a related festival will be required to go through checkpoints with magnetometers. Asked about any changes to security planning in light of the L.A. protests, McCool said, "We plan for those things ahead of time' 'We were paying attention, obviously, to what is happening there, and we'll be ready for that if it were to occur here,' he said, though he added, 'We have no intelligence of that happening here, but if it does, we have the resources to handle it." U.S. Park Police had several protest permits pending on Monday, but officials 'don't have any significant concerns," said McCool, who added that they're tracking 'about nine First Amendment activity demonstrations.' The anti-Trump group No Kings is expecting more than 1,800 rallies nationwide Saturday that organizers said were planned as "a peaceful stand against authoritarian overreach and the gross abuse of power this Administration has shown." With Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard and U.S. Marines to respond to the L.A. demonstrations, the group said in a statement: "This military escalation only confirms what we've known: this government wants to rule by force, not serve the people. From major cities to small towns, we'll rise together and say: we reject political violence. We reject fear as governance. We reject the myth that only some deserve freedom."
