On August 30, 2016, 28-year-old Augustine Vigil was one of two men fatally shot at Cesar Chavez Park in Oakland’s Fruitvale district. Both Vigil and the other victim, Shawn Chatman, were found late that evening with fatal gunshot wounds. Park surveillance cameras were reportedly not working at the time of the shooting.

Prosecutors described the killings as an unprovoked attack, saying David Vigil approached the victims while they sat in their car and opened fire. The victims had been eating pizza and smoking marijuana. The defense countered that David Vigil acted in self-defense, asserting the victims drew a weapon first and that his client responded to a perceived threat. Prosecutors disputed that account and noted attempts by David Vigil to mislead law enforcement after the shooting.

Does anyone have information about that night at Cesar Chavez Park or recall seeing the car the victims were in?
