Marcus Sims, 29, was one of two men fatally shot while sitting in a minivan near 10th and Willow streets in West Oakland on January 20, 2015. The shooting happened about 5:30 p.m.; both victims suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Sims was taken to a hospital and later died; Donald Ward, 22, was killed at the scene. The prosecutor described the crime scene as gruesome, with shreds of bone and blood scattered around.

Investigators concluded the killings were tied to gang-related activity and internal disputes. Carlton Broussard, identified as a member of the Campbell Village gang, was named as one of the shooters who, with an unidentified accomplice, allegedly targeted Sims and Ward because they were believed to be involved in robberies affecting people close to Broussard. The defense claimed Broussard acted in self-defense after being warned that Sims and Ward planned to kill him. Broussard was later linked to a separate smoke-shop robbery in Brentwood and was arrested in March 2015.

Does anyone who knew Marcus Sims or was in West Oakland that evening have information about what led up to the shooting?
