Jessica Anderson was 29 and a resident of Oakland when she was killed on August 29, 2015. That evening she and a friend were getting into a car on the 6700 block of Avenal Avenue in East Oakland when an unknown assailant opened fire into the vehicle. Jessica was struck in the chest; her friend drove about half a mile to the 5700 block of Bancroft Avenue where police and paramedics were called, but Jessica could not be resuscitated.

A working mother with a two-year-old daughter, Jessica had been preparing to attend a concert in San Francisco that night. The killing drew media attention and community calls for action against gun violence. The Oakland Police Department opened an extensive investigation, but the case faced a lack of witnesses and concrete leads. As of the most recent reports, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Oakland remember seeing or hearing anything on Avenal Avenue that night that could help bring answers?
