Dominique Jamar Parks, 29, was shot near 73rd Avenue and International Boulevard in East Oakland around 8 a.m. on October 12, 2014. He was taken to a hospital, underwent multiple surgeries, had both legs amputated, and died of complications from his gunshot wounds on October 23, 2014.

Authorities arrested 34-year-old Brian Carter of Oakland; Alameda County prosecutors charged him with murder and a weapons enhancement. Carter was found at an apartment in Pittsburg where two guns and ammunition were recovered. He had prior convictions including assault with a deadly weapon and marijuana possession and was held without bail at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.

At trial prosecutors relied on surveillance video and statements from Parks’ wife Fatima and his brother Donta. The defense said the footage was too blurry to identify the shooter and suggested Donta, who was allegedly high at the time, could have been responsible. In March 2018 the trial ended in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked 11-1 for conviction; Carter was convicted of two lesser felonies for being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm and being a prohibited person in possession of ammunition.

Does anyone have additional details about the shooting or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
