Daniel Ellis, 21, was shot near the corner of 27th Avenue and International Boulevard in Oakland on July 31, 2014, at about 7:22 p.m. He managed to walk a short distance after being struck but collapsed and died from his injuries. The shooting was described at the time as seemingly senseless.

A witness identified 19-year-old Daniel Estrella as the shooter and later picked him out of a police lineup. Estrella was arrested at his home near Lake Merritt on August 6, 2014, and charged with second-degree murder. Reports say Estrella had prior felony convictions for evading an officer and grand theft. The victim and the accused reportedly shared mutual friends, but authorities did not disclose a clear motive.

Ellis’ family members, including his stepmother Vickie Axelrod, gave emotional testimony about the loss and the effect on Ellis’ three young children. Does anyone have information about the night of July 31, 2014, or knew Daniel Ellis?
