Bernard Meshawn Beard, 22, was fatally shot in Oakland on January 12, 2017. The killing occurred in a neighborhood already experiencing high levels of violence and was counted among the city’s earliest homicides that year.

Local law enforcement investigated but did not announce any arrests or named suspects, and the case remained unsolved as part of a wider spike in homicides in Oakland during 2017.

If anyone knew Bernard, saw him around January 12, 2017, or has information about what happened that day, law enforcement would welcome tips.
