Dellmor Brown, a 33-year-old Oakland resident, was shot and killed on August 18, 2021, in the early morning around 4:45 a.m. on the 2800 block of MacArthur Boulevard. Officers responding to a report of a shooting found Brown with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a local hospital and died shortly thereafter.

Investigators identified a suspect as Clarence Johnson, described as Brown’s cousin and also 33. Surveillance footage and witness statements led to an arrest warrant; Johnson was taken into custody and charged with murder by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. Records show Johnson had a prior conviction for voluntary manslaughter in 2011 arising from a fatal shooting in Antioch and that he had violated parole. Reports indicate the two cousins had an argument before the shooting, but a clear motive has not been established.

If anyone knew Dellmor or saw activity on MacArthur Boulevard that morning, please share what was seen.
