Tass Jackson, 51, was shot and killed in East Oakland in the early hours of April 29, 2015. Police found Jackson with fatal gunshot wounds about 12:58 a.m. in the 1200 block of 46th Avenue; despite efforts to save him he was declared dead at the scene.

Jackson was one of two homicide victims in Oakland over a short period; the previous evening 21-year-old Jamell Tousant was also killed in a separate shooting. While investigating Tousant’s death, undercover officers were fired upon by suspects linked to a vehicle burglary; those suspects were arrested after a chase and crash, but investigators had not established a direct connection between that incident and Jackson’s killing.

Anyone with information about Jackson, the shooting on 46th Avenue, or the vehicle that fled the scene is asked to come forward.
