Anthony Hernandez, 44, was killed during a chaotic shooting at a birthday party on Malicoat Avenue in Oakley, California, on November 6, 2021. The shooting occurred at about 9:20 p.m.; another guest, 29-year-old Myron Crenshaw Jr. of Vallejo, also died. Two additional people suffered non-fatal injuries and were hospitalized.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder after the shooting, but the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office later declined to file charges and the suspect was expected to be released. Prosecutors cited the complexities of prosecuting a chaotic scene with multiple potential shooters and competing claims of self-defense. Authorities say the investigation remains open and have not ruled out additional suspects.

The families of the victims continue to seek answers. If anyone at the party or nearby that night has information that could help, please share it with investigators.
