Dad, daughter killed after car ran out of gas, CA cops say. Now push to close case
More than a decade after a father and daughter were fatally shot while waiting in their car, California police detectives are pushing to close the case.
A $225,000 reward is being offered for information in the 2012 slayings of Allen Vance, 39, and Chastity Dollison, 20, the San Francisco Police Department said in a June 25 news release.
Shortly before 10:30 p.m. on June 13, 2012, Vance and Dollison were driving in a San Francisco neighborhood with a family friend visiting from out of state when their Lexus ran out of gasoline, police said.
The three sat in the car, waiting for a friend’s help, police said.
Then, an unknown person walked up to their car and fired several shots inside, according to police.
Vance and Dollison, who were in the front seat, were hit and killed, police said.
The family friend, seated in the back seat, was also shot but lived, police said.
This isn’t the department’s first push for information in the case.
In 2018, police announced a $50,000 reward for information about the fatal shooting, according to a news release.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police, either Inspector Daniel Cunningham at 415-553-9515 or Sergeant Kyra Delaney at 415-734-3102.
