Antonio Rodriguez-Victor was 11 when he was fatally shot on June 18, 2015, while playing outside his home in the Fruitvale district of Oakland. The shooting happened in the evening when a vehicle drove by and shots were fired, striking Antonio; he died shortly after despite medical attention.

Investigators determined the shooting was likely gang-related and that Antonio was not involved in gang activity, believed to have been an innocent bystander targeted as the shooters aimed at someone else. Witnesses described the vehicle and suspects, and the Oakland Police Department identified and later arrested several suspects in connection with the attack.

The suspects faced charges including murder, attempted murder, and gang-related offenses; the prosecution relied on witness testimony and forensic evidence while the defense challenged those elements. The community held vigils and attended court in support of Antonio’s family.

Did anyone in Fruitvale at the time see the vehicle or the shooting who hasn’t already spoken to investigators?
