Kevin Clark was a 25-year-old resident of Oakland, California, who was shot and killed in East Oakland on January 26, 2015. His death occurred amid a violent year for the city, which recorded 83 homicides in 2015, and is described as part of the pattern of shootings that disproportionately affected young men in East Oakland.

The circumstances of Kevin’s killing are said to reflect common challenges investigators faced then: difficulties obtaining reliable witness testimony and evidence, and limited cooperation that hampered progress. Community leaders and local organizations have responded with vigils, meetings and initiatives aimed at addressing root causes and preventing further violence, but his family’s search for justice remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Kevin or has information about what happened in East Oakland on January 26, 2015, please come forward.
