Denzell Bean Jones was 15 when he was fatally shot outside a Boys and Girls Club in West Oakland on February 1, 2014. The shooting happened around 10:45 p.m. near 24th and Market Street and also killed a 35-year-old relative, Kanem Ayers. Reports describe Denzell as charismatic, friendly, a strong student with ambitions to join the U.S. Air Force; his family says he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The family held a funeral on February 13, 2014, at Fouche’s Hudson Funeral Home in Oakland and asked mourners to wear white and red, with white as the dominant color in honor of his favorite color. A $20,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest, and the Oakland Police Department has urged anyone with information to come forward. No suspects have been apprehended and the motive remains unclear.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that night near 24th and Market Street that could help bring answers?
