George Reed, 35, was fatally shot on July 7, 2018, just before 1 a.m. on the 9700 block of C Street near Elmhurst Park in Oakland, California. The Oakland Police Department confirmed his death and opened an investigation into the shooting.

Police say the inquiry ran into obstacles from the start: few witnesses, limited concrete evidence, and community reluctance to come forward. Detectives pursued leads and appealed to the public, but no arrests were made immediately and the case remained unsolved for an extended period, leaving Reed’s family without closure.

Are there any local residents or visitors from that area on the night of July 7, 2018, who can share what they saw or heard?
