Chrisean Nealy, 17, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Bella Vista Apartments at 3400 Richmond Parkway on the night of September 16, 2016. Residents reported hearing multiple gunshots around 10:30 p.m.; officers who responded found Nealy with multiple gunshot wounds. Nealy was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Investigators described the shooting as targeted, but the motive remained unclear at the time.

Authorities identified 23-year-old DaWaun Rice of Vallejo as a suspect in Nealy’s killing and linked him to a second fatal shooting three days later. Investigators cited video surveillance, GPS cellphone data and ballistic evidence as connecting Rice to both scenes; blood on Rice’s recently shaved dreadlocks was linked to the second victim by DNA. A Contra Costa County grand jury later returned indictments in the two homicides.

Did anyone in Richmond at the time see activity in the Bella Vista Apartments parking lot that night or have information about Nealy’s last movements?
