Donta Harkins, 30, was shot in the head on June 25, 2015 while riding in the back seat of a car in the 3900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Oakland. The shooting happened about 6:33 p.m. The driver tried to rush Harkins to Highland Hospital but was stopped for a moving violation on Interstate 580 by the California Highway Patrol; CHP officers called paramedics after finding Harkins in critical condition. He was later declared brain-dead and removed from life support. His mother, Denise McFadden, arranged for his organs to be donated per his wishes.

The Oakland Police Department opened an investigation but has not identified suspects or made arrests, and no motive has been released. Crime Stoppers of Oakland and police offered up to a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Harkins is survived by his fiancée and three children.

Does anyone have information about that evening or about people who were in the area of Martin Luther King Jr. Way around 6:30 p.m. on June 25, 2015?
