A $100,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects who attacked a Giants fan in the Dodger Stadium parking lot on Thursday.
42-year-old Bryan Stow was left in critical condition from a brutal beating after Thursday’s season opener.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich is offering a $10,000 reward, the San Francisco Giants – $10,000 and American Medical Response, the company where Stow works – $5000. The Dodgers matched the rewards with a pledge of $25,000.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles City Council voted to offer a $50,000 reward, bringing the total to $100,000.
Stow, a paramedic with American Medical Response, was reportedly one of three men wearing Giants gear attacked by two men in Dodgers clothing. The men kicked and punched the victims, shouting expletives about the Giants as they delivered the blows. According to police, the attacks were unprovoked. Stow was knocked to the ground and hit his head on the pavement.
A neurosurgeon with Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center said Tuesday that Stow, a father of two from Santa Cruz, suffered a severe skull fracture and bad bruising in his frontal lobe.
Dr. Gabriel Zada said Stow is showing signs of “brain injury and dysfunction” and is being kept in a medically-induced coma.
The San Francisco Giants announced that it will dedicate its first home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in honor of Stow. On Opening Day, Friday, April 8, the team will pay tribute to Bryan during its pre-game ceremonies, then on Monday, April 11, they will collect donations to benefit a fund established to support him and his family.
“Bryan is a father, paramedic and lifelong Giants fan who has dedicated himself to caring for others. Now he needs our support as he fights for his life following this brutal and unconscionable act of violence,” said Bill Neukom, Giants Managing General Partner and CEO.
