Matthew Jackson was a 26-year-old Oakland resident who was shot and killed in East Oakland on May 5, 2015, at around 5 p.m. His death came during a surge of violence that year in Oakland, which recorded 129 homicides and prompted the Oakland Police Department to assign additional homicide investigators.

The Oakland Police Department later identified suspects in Jackson’s homicide and the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office pursued charges. That development was part of a broader push by local authorities to improve homicide clearance and address rising gun violence affecting many young victims.

If anyone knew Matthew, witnessed the shooting that afternoon, or has information about what led to his death, please share what you know.
