Keith Harding, 29, was fatally shot on April 9, 2013, while sitting on the front porch of his family’s home in the 1600 block of 85th Avenue in East Oakland. Assailants approached and opened fire, killing him at the scene. Authorities have said the location was believed to be linked to a marijuana grow operation, though Harding’s precise connection to that activity was still under investigation.

The case remains unsolved, and the Oakland Police Department and Crime Stoppers of Oakland have offered up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and prosecution.
