Joshua Smith, 25, was fatally shot on February 8, 2018, outside a home in the 1400 block of 74th Avenue in Oakland, California. The shooting occurred at about 8:08 p.m.; Smith was struck multiple times and did not survive.

Local authorities charged 22-year-old Ibrahim Alhorsome with Smith’s murder, alleging the shooting followed an altercation between the two men. Prosecutors prepared evidence and witness testimony to show Alhorsome’s culpability while the defense challenged that narrative.

The case attracted significant community attention because of the violent circumstances and the broader concerns about gun violence in Oakland. Does anyone have information about Joshua, the location that night, or witnesses who saw what happened?
