DeAndre Williams, 25, was fatally shot in Oakland on November 18, 2016. The shooting occurred at about 9:13 p.m. in the 4500 block of Bancroft Avenue; another person was wounded and taken to a hospital in critical condition. Investigators determined Williams was the victim of a targeted shooting.

The Oakland Police Department canvassed the neighborhood, reviewed surveillance footage, and interviewed potential witnesses, but no arrests were made immediately after the incident. Officials said a lack of witnesses willing to come forward has hampered the investigation. Williams’ death has deeply affected his family and the local community and is cited as part of broader concerns about gun violence in Oakland.

Does anyone have information about that evening on Bancroft Avenue or about DeAndre that could help investigators?
