Frederick Edmonds, 57, was shot and killed outside his home on the 2300 block of 27th Avenue in East Oakland on June 23, 2015, at about 1:54 am. According to reports, two unknown men approached Edmonds, shot him, then fled together in a vehicle. No suspect descriptions or clear motive have been identified and the case remains unsolved.

The shooting occurred amid an uptick in violent crime across Oakland in 2015, with East Oakland particularly affected and many homicides that year left unresolved. Investigators say the lack of leads and witnesses has hampered progress in this case, and law enforcement continues to seek information that could lead to an arrest.

If anyone knew Frederick Edmonds, was in that neighborhood the night of June 23, 2015, or has information about the two men or the getaway vehicle, please come forward to the authorities.
