Joshua K. Weathersby was 28 when he was shot in downtown Oakland on the night of March 12, 2018. The shooting took place in the 1300 block of Broadway, a few blocks from City Hall, after an argument between Weathersby and another man escalated. The unknown gunman fled before police arrived; Weathersby was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

A 24-year-old bystander was also struck by an errant bullet and transported to a hospital for treatment. The Oakland Police Department classified the case as the city’s 16th homicide that year and has not released a motive for the argument. Crime Stoppers of Oakland and police offered up to a $15,000 reward for information leading to the shooter’s arrest, but no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Joshua, saw activity in the 1300 block of Broadway that night, or has information about the argument or the shooter, please share what is known with authorities.
