Kiante Campbell was 18 and a senior at Oakland Technical High School when he was killed on February 1, 2013. The shooting happened after the First Friday event in downtown Oakland, in a parking lot on Telegraph Avenue. Campbell and a 17-year-old friend plus two women were struck; Campbell died at the scene and the other victims were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Oakland police arrested 19-year-old Donald Parks Jr., who was identified as the shooter in surveillance footage and by witness accounts and who confessed. The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office declined to file murder charges, saying the evidence was insufficient to prove murder beyond a reasonable doubt; Parks was instead charged with multiple counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm and with carrying a concealed, loaded weapon.

Campbell had plans to attend UC Berkeley and was involved in music production and community service. Does anyone who attended First Friday or was in that area that night have information that could clarify how the confrontation began?
