Isom Rodgers was 22 and a resident of Oakland when he was shot to death on January 5, 2003. Known by the nickname Tank, Rodgers was struck multiple times on West Street; the autopsy recorded gunshot wounds to his back, forearm, and hands. The absence of gunpowder burns suggested the shooter fired from a distance, and nine-millimeter and .40-caliber casings were recovered at the scene. Initial efforts to find witnesses were unsuccessful.

Rodgers had a prior conviction for drug dealing, a detail mentioned by investigators. Beyond the physical evidence and those lead details, little is publicly clear about who was present that night or why he was targeted. Does anyone have information about Rodgers, his movements on January 5, 2003, or memories of seeing something on West Street that evening?
