Edward Williams, 35, was fatally shot on November 23, 2018, on San Pablo Avenue in West Oakland. He was pronounced dead at the scene; another man was wounded and taken to hospital. Police described Williams as the target of a planned attack and identified him soon after the shooting.

Investigators opened a homicide probe but reported limited leads and no immediate arrests. Community leaders and law enforcement responded with calls for increased police presence and engagement to reduce violence in the area. Detectives continued to seek information from witnesses, while the family and community expressed frustration at the slow pace of the investigation.

What information about that afternoon or people in the area might help detectives identify the suspects involved?
