Terrance Forks was 16 when he was shot and killed outside the Crescent Park apartment complex in Richmond, California, on April 8, 2014. The shooting followed a heated argument that night between Forks and 30-year-old Melinda Gaffney, who reportedly had a child with Forks. Forks was struck multiple times and died at the scene.

After the shooting, Gaffney left in a white Lexus that was later found abandoned. Witnesses and multiple reports to police led to her identification; she surrendered to the San Francisco Police Department days later and was charged with murder. Charges included a firearm enhancement for causing great bodily injury, and she was held on a $1 million arrest warrant before transfer to the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office.

The community mourned Forks’ death and the case moved to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s office for prosecution. Does anyone have information about Forks’ last movements or about witnesses who were at Crescent Park that night?
