Tyree Foster, 52, of Burbank, California, was shot and killed in East Oakland on July 4, 2022. Officers found Foster in the driver’s seat of his vehicle in the 8700 block of Dowling Street shortly after 11:30 p.m.; the car had crashed and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Oakland Police Department released his name a few days later.

Investigators say Foster had been visiting Oakland for about a week before the shooting and had ties to the city, though he most recently lived in Woodland Hills in Los Angeles County. Authorities have not established a clear motive; investigators believe an argument on the street may have escalated and that Foster was shot as he tried to drive away. No arrests have been made.

Crime Stoppers of Oakland and the Oakland Police Department are offering up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. If anyone knew Foster, saw the incident, or has information that could help the investigation, please contact the Oakland Police Department or Crime Stoppers of Oakland.
