Jamell Tousant was 21 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on April 25, 2015. The attack happened around 6:15 p.m. while he was riding in a vehicle on the 1400 block of 90th Avenue in East Oakland. He was a resident of Antioch and died at the scene.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced in connection with Jamell’s homicide. His father, Jamell Tousant Sr., believed members of the Berkeley-based Five Fingers Gang were responsible and later carried out his own investigation. On August 15, 2015, a separate shooting near San Pablo Park in Berkeley wounded one man in the leg; Tousant Sr. was arrested October 23, 2015, and in March 2018 was convicted on multiple felony counts related to that Berkeley shooting and sentenced to 22 years. Prosecutors offered cellphone records and photographs as circumstantial evidence tying him to that attack; the second shooter in that incident has not been identified or charged.

The murder of Jamell Tousant remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about Jamell, the April 25, 2015 drive-by, or people who might have witnessed it?
