Joaquin Byrd was an 18-year-old senior at Skyline High School in Oakland who was fatally shot on February 4, 2017. Officers found Byrd with gunshot wounds in the early morning in the 4200 block of MacArthur Boulevard; he was transported to hospital but died shortly afterward. The school provided grief counselors for students and staff after his death.

Authorities arrested 21-year-old Khalil Davis-Lewis on a murder charge and 22-year-old Mayra Carrillo on a charge of being an accessory after the fact. Police say the shooting followed a confrontation in a fast food restaurant parking lot in East Oakland that began with words, became a physical fight, and ended when Davis-Lewis shot Byrd. Carrillo is alleged to have fought with a woman who was with Byrd and later drove Davis-Lewis away. A judge found there was sufficient evidence to proceed to trial; the defense argued self-defense while the judge said there was no evidence Byrd posed an immediate weapon threat.

Does anyone have information about Byrd’s last movements or the parking lot altercation?
