Willie D. Gilbert, 17, of Oakland was fatally shot and taken to Highland Hospital in the early morning hours of April 1, 2014. An unidentified person brought him to the hospital and reported finding him on a street near the facility; Gilbert died shortly after arrival. Police have not determined whether he was shot where he was found or at a different location.

No arrests or suspects have been announced and no motive has been released. Investigators have noted a possible connection to a 22-year-old man who arrived at the same hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg shortly after Gilbert; that man said he was shot while driving on Interstate 580, but authorities have not confirmed any link. The Oakland Police Department and Crime Stoppers of Oakland offered up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Anyone who knew Willie, saw activity near Highland Hospital that morning, or has information about a shooting on Interstate 580 is asked to come forward.
