Miguel Barboza, a 37-year-old resident of Oakland, California, was shot and killed on January 4, 2014, on the 3600 block of International Boulevard in the Fruitvale district. Reports say the shooting followed a possible argument with an unknown individual; Barboza succumbed to his injuries shortly after the incident.

Authorities opened an investigation but faced difficulties because of few witnesses and limited concrete evidence. There were no immediate arrests or publicly identified suspects, and the case remained open as investigators sought leads. Barboza’s death was noted as part of a wider pattern of homicides and violent crime in Oakland at that time.

If anyone has information about Miguel Barboza, his last known movements on January 4, 2014, or the person involved in the argument, please come forward to assist investigators.
