Kilpatrick Townsend Partner is Shot and Killed Outside Home
A prominent San Francisco attorney returning to his home in El Cerrito, Calif., Thursday night was confronted by an assailant who shot him to death, according to a report on SF Gate.
Paramedics pronounced James Gilliland Jr., 62, dead at the scene on his front porch in the San Francisco Bay area.
“Gilliland was a partner at Kilpatrick Townsend and Stockton LLP in San Francisco, where he headed litigation from 2013 to 2015. Specializing in patents, copyright and antitrust, he represented companies including Oracle, Sony, Williams-Sonoma and Levi Strauss and Co.,” write Kimberly Veklerov and Steve Rubenstein.
SF Gate reported that a police spokesman said it was not known whether Gilliland was stalked or followed, whether he was the victim of a robbery, or whether the victim and gunman knew each other.
