Karlin Watts, 46, was shot to death on September 19, 2019, in the 1400 block of 85th Avenue in East Oakland. He was found dead at about 9:14 p.m. in a neighborhood he was known to frequent. Police have not announced a motive, and no arrests have been made.

The Oakland Police Department is investigating, but investigators report a lack of witnesses and concrete evidence has hampered progress. Authorities have urged the community to come forward and a reward has been offered for tips leading to an arrest. Watts’ death was one of several homicides in Oakland around that time, a period that stretched police resources.

Does anyone who knew Karlin or who was in that part of East Oakland on September 19, 2019 have information that could help investigators?
