Elijah Davis, 23, was fatally shot outside a Seminary Gas and Food station in the 6200 block of Seminary Avenue in Oakland on the night of October 29, 2018. Davis and a 26-year-old friend were standing outside their car when at least one gunman opened fire from a nearby street. Both men were struck; Davis died after being taken to the hospital, while his friend survived multiple gunshot wounds and was reported to be recovering. The shooting damaged several cars and part of the market, but no other injuries were reported.

The Oakland Police Department investigated the incident and, with Crime Stoppers of Oakland, offered up to a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. No arrests had been announced and the motive remained unclear. Questions were also raised about the station’s security measures; the Murray Law Firm suggested lighting, cameras and patrols should be examined and that the family might pursue a wrongful death claim if negligence were found.

Does anyone with information about that night or who saw vehicles or people in the area please come forward?
