Eric Chavis-Reshard Jr., 32, was shot and killed on March 3, 2020, in East Oakland. The shooting occurred about 5 p.m. on the 1800 block of 88th Avenue. Surveillance footage showed a green Pontiac leaving the scene shortly after the attack.

Investigators used that footage to identify a suspect. Authorities arrested 26-year-old Melvin Hines III of Oakland and charged him with the murder of Chavis-Reshard and the attempted murder of another man wounded in the same incident. Evidence in the case included shell casings that matched between the March 3 scene and a later shooting, and matching casings found in Hines’ home. Hines denied driving the Pontiac; his girlfriend, who owned the car, told police he had driven it that night and was also arrested.

If anyone knew Eric or saw the green Pontiac on March 3, 2020, please come forward with information.
