Sep. 27—OAKLAND — Garrett County Crime Solvers has increased a reward to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the person who killed an Oakland man on Cranesville Road last month, Sheriff Bryson Meyers said Wednesday.

Ascenzio Lucien Bilello Jr., 53, died of his injuries after being flown to J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia.

First responders were called to the 3000-4000 block of Cranesville Road about 8:30 p.m. Aug. 21 for a reported vehicle accident.

Deputies said Bilello was driving a white 2017 Ford Explorer on Cranesville Road near Muddy Creek Road when the vehicle crossed the center line striking an embankment. The SUV traveled back across the road and through a field before hitting a tree.

Investigation revealed a bullet hole in the passenger window with the bullet striking Bilello.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Capt. Zimmerman or Detective Jeffries at the sheriff's office at 301-334-1911. Tips can also be left at www.garrettcountycrimesolvers.org.
