Mohamed Soumah was 18 when he was shot and killed in Oakland, California, on December 1, 2018. A recent graduate of Berkeley High School, Soumah was at a party in East Oakland when multiple calls alerted police to a shooting at a residence on 47th Avenue. Officers arriving at about 10:08 PM found him with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities have not released information about a suspect or a motive, and no arrests have been announced. Investigators report limited witness cooperation and little concrete evidence, which has hindered progress. Soumah’s family, originally from Guinea, West Africa, and the wider community mourned his loss; a GoFundMe was set up to assist his family.

Does anyone who attended that gathering or who was in the 47th Avenue area that night have information that could help the investigation?
