BALTIMORE — The ATF Field Office in Baltimore on Tuesday put up a $5,000 reward for information leading to Cornelius Bruce's killer.

Investigators recovered surveillance video of a person of interest from a nearby BP gas station.

That person was seen filling up a red gas can before the car Bruce was found in was set on fire.

“This crime was violent, and shows steps were actively taken to cover up what happened,” said ATF Baltimore Acting Special Agent in Charge L.C. Cheeks, Jr.
