Dejoh Woods, 25, was fatally shot inside Booker's Grocery Liquor at 90th Avenue and Olive Street in East Oakland on April 10, 2021, around 9 p.m. The killing followed an argument with an unidentified man in the store; the shooter later turned himself in to Oakland police on April 15 and was booked into Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of homicide. The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office declined to file charges, with prosecutor Casey Bates saying the evidence review led to that decision and suggesting self-defense may have been a factor.

Woods’s death set off a string of retaliatory violence. On April 12, two gunmen fired high-powered rifles at a West Oakland liquor store, critically wounding a cashier. On April 14, someone set fire to Booker's Grocery Liquor, and on April 17 an arson fire at the home of Booker's cashier Esam Musleh killed him and his one-year-old daughter Alia Musleh; Musleh’s wife and another relative were injured. The arson investigation is being treated as a homicide and involves federal and local agencies; a reward of up to $40,000 has been offered, but no suspects have been identified.

Does anyone have information about the April 10 incident or the subsequent retaliatory attacks that could help investigators?
