Deandre Adams, 22, of Oakland was shot multiple times on the morning of August 25, 2017 while driving on Olive Street between 88th and 90th avenues. Witness accounts say he staggered from his vehicle, left a trail of blood, and reached a nearby driveway before an off-duty EMT tried to help; Adams later died at Highland Hospital that day.

The investigation produced video surveillance, phone records, physical evidence and witness statements that prosecutors said implicated 30-year-old Troy Seales. Seales was convicted of first-degree murder in April 2018; testimony at trial included an ex-girlfriend’s account that Seales had taken a duffle bag containing an AK-47–style rifle on the day of the shooting and later told her he thought he had killed Adams. Seales received a 50 years to life sentence.

A second man, Dupree Riley, was charged in connection with the case but was found mentally incompetent to stand trial; his case remained pending. Did anyone in the community have information about Adams, his movements that morning, or known disputes involving him?
