Derick Alexander, an 18-year-old from Oakland, California, was shot and killed on June 27, 2018, outside Mike’s Mini Mart in the 8900 block of MacArthur Boulevard in East Oakland. He was among a group playing dice when the shooting occurred; three other people were injured. Reports describe the attack as a targeted incident, possibly linked to gang-related activity.

A multiagency investigation led to the arrest and charging of five people allegedly connected to an Oakland gang called F— Everyone: Earl McLeod, Sean Collins, Kevonte Gordon, Malik Jackson, and Devin Hairston. Investigators used surveillance footage and social media evidence; McLeod and Collins were seen on security video retrieving a short-barreled AR-style rifle shortly after the shooting, and an Instagram video showed them brandishing the weapon and flashing gang signs. Federal sentences were imposed in related counts, including 2½ years for McLeod, five years for Malik Jackson, and two years three months for Devin Hairston.

What does anyone who knew Derick or witnessed the shooting remember from that night?
