Keith Woodson, 36, of Oakland was shot and killed on December 23, 2019. Officers found Woodson and another man suffering from gunshot wounds in the 1400 block of 85th Avenue; Woodson was pronounced dead at the scene. The Oakland Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting.

Investigators later identified 36-year-old Andre Griffin as a suspect and arrested him at the federal courthouse in Oakland on January 6, 2020. Authorities say surveillance footage, social media, cellphone records, distinctive clothing, and tips from concerned citizens linked Griffin to the scene. He was charged with murder, assault with a semi-automatic firearm, and being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm. Griffin’s record includes prior convictions for drug and theft offenses.

The shooting occurred in an area known for drug activity; Woodson had previously been indicted by a federal grand jury in April 2018 on charges alleging distribution of cocaine or cocaine base in that neighborhood. Does anyone have information about Woodson, the location, or what happened that night?
