Brendan James Flowers, 34, of South San Francisco, was shot dead on February 3, 2020, in the 300 block of Alvarado Street in Brisbane, California, near Brisbane Elementary School. Officers arrived at 4:19 p.m. and found Flowers with fatal gunshot wounds; the resident of the home where the shooting occurred was located safe and cooperated with police.

Police initially described the event as a possible home invasion but later said the shooting appeared to be random, not a robbery or home invasion. Investigators were working to determine whether Flowers had any prior connection to the resident who fired the fatal shots. No arrests were made immediately and the resident was not detained.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Sgt. Gio Perez.
