Isaiah C. Smith was 15 and a Fremont High School student when he was shot and killed on November 29, 2014, around 11:30 a.m. in the 5400 block of Trask Street in Oakland, not far from his home. He was walking with two other youths, was critically wounded, ran a short distance, then collapsed and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two men, Tyrell Coulter and Savon Mims, were arrested in connection with the killing. Investigators used covert electronic surveillance that captured Coulter implicating himself and naming Mims; Coulter reportedly gave details only someone involved would know. In plea deals with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office they pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter. Coulter received 16 years and Mims 12 years in state prison; Coulter was identified as the shooter and Mims as the driver.

Isaiah’s death deeply affected Fremont High and the broader community and was followed by a retaliatory shooting in April 2015 that injured multiple people, including Isaiah’s older brother Anthony Smith and Mykolay McGowen. Does anyone who knew Isaiah or was in that neighborhood that day have information that could add to the record?
