Isaac Johnson was 17 when he was killed on May 25, 2013, in Oakland, California. He was a high school student; friends and family remembered him as a vibrant young man who brought joy to those around him. His death came during a year of elevated violence in Oakland, which recorded 92 homicides in 2013.

That unresolved status is presented as part of a wider pattern in the city, where homicide clearance rates have often lagged behind the state average and investigative challenges and understaffing are cited as contributing factors. If anyone knew Isaac or has information about what happened on May 25, 2013, please share what you can with investigators.
