Frank Avery was 18 when he was found fatally shot on June 23, 2017, in East Oakland. He was discovered inside a stolen vehicle that had collided with several other cars at the intersection of Seminary Avenue and Foothill Boulevard; the crash was reported around 3:57 p.m. An Alameda County deputy who arrived first attempted first aid, but Avery was pronounced dead shortly after.

The car had been reported stolen from Vacaville. Police were working to establish the precise location of the shooting using ShotSpotter alerts, including one near 77th and Bancroft avenues. Investigators reported that Avery was shot while driving; no motive was immediately determined and no arrests had been announced. The Oakland Police Department and Crime Stoppers of Oakland offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Are there witnesses or anyone who knew Avery’s movements that afternoon who can help fill in what happened?
