Allen Lewis, 49, was shot and killed on March 24, 2015. His body was found early that morning on the 300 block of East 17th Street in Oakland’s East Lake district and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Lewis did not live in that neighborhood, and investigators initially did not know why he was there.

No motive or suspects were identified in the days after the killing, and the case was unsolved as authorities asked the public for information. The homicide occurred amid a year when Oakland reported 83 homicides and the city was dealing with a rising homicide rate and low clearance rates for violent crime.

Did anyone in Oakland’s East Lake area see Allen Lewis or notice something unusual that morning?
