Berkeley police are offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the killer of a 23-year-old Oakland man who was shot in Berkeley Sept. 4. 

The body of Wayne Drummond Jr. was found at the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority house, 2311 Prospect St., following a 911 call at 1:40 a.m. 

Officers believe he was shot at another location and either walked or was driven to the sorority. 

Drummond had been seen shortly before on Telegraph engaged in a low key argument with another man, the last sighting before his body was discovered. 

“We’ve talked to lots of people, but so far no one’s been able to provide the information we need,” said police spokesperson Officer Ed Galvan. 

The officer asked anyone with information to call homicide investigators at 981-5900. Callers may remain anonymous, he said.
