Andrew Moppin-Buckskin, a 20-year-old resident of Oakland, California, was shot and killed by Oakland police after a traffic stop on December 31, 2007. Officers opened fire after Moppin-Buckskin allegedly reached toward his waistband. He was unarmed and was struck multiple times, dying at the scene.

Moppin-Buckskin’s family filed a $10 million federal civil rights wrongful death lawsuit alleging excessive force and that he did not pose a deadly threat. The Alameda County District Attorney’s office investigated and produced a report finalized in 2013 (released in 2018) that concluded the officers perceived a threat. A federal judge later dismissed the family’s lawsuit in favor of the city and officers. Officer Hector Jimenez was later involved in another fatal shooting, was fired, and an arbitrator reinstated him.

Does anyone have information about Moppin-Buckskin’s last movements that night or eyewitness details about the traffic stop?
