Man Shot Dead Inside Brisbane Home Identified

BRISBANE (CBS SF) -- A man fatally shot at a home in Brisbane on Monday afternoon has been identified by the San Mateo County coroner's office as 34-year-old South San Francisco resident Brendan Flowers.

Brisbane police had originally indicated the shooting was the result of a home invasion and the intruder had been shot dead. However, police spokeswoman Ofc. Michelle Moneda said in a press release Tuesday the incident does not appear to be a home invasion or robbery, and characterized the shooting as a "random incident."

Officers had responded at 4:19 p.m. to the 300 block of Alvarado Street near Brisbane Elementary School and arrived to find Flowers dead from gunshot wounds, police said.

The resident of the home who shot Flowers was found safe and is cooperating with investigators. Moneda said investigators are still working to determine if Flowers and the resident knew each other.

More details about the shooting were not immediately released.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Sgt. Gio Perez at (650) 219-2924 or gperez@brisbaneca.org.
