Rafael Cervantes, a 20-year-old resident of Antioch, California, was fatally shot in East Oakland on July 2, 2019. The shooting occurred about 11:45 p.m. in the 1200 block of 87th Avenue. Cervantes and two others were approached on the street by an unknown assailant who opened fire. Jose Wilson, 29, who lived near the scene, died at the scene; Cervantes died the next morning at a local hospital. A 23-year-old man from Antioch survived and was recovering.

Police have not disclosed the motive, why Cervantes and his companions were visiting Wilson, or how they knew him. No arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing; a reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest. Family and friends remembered Cervantes as loving, caring, and generous, and his sister started a GoFundMe to help with family expenses.

Does anyone who was in East Oakland that night or who knew Rafael or the others have information that could help the investigation?
