Wilbur Bartley, 50, was shot and killed on October 31, 2012, during a robbery at his cellular phone store, Marcus Cellular, on International Boulevard in East Oakland. The shooting occurred shortly after the store closed for the day. Officers found Bartley lying on the store floor.

Bartley was a long-time, well-respected business owner in the community. The killing intensified concerns about violence and business-targeted crimes in East Oakland; friends and customers visited the store to pay their respects. Police urged anyone with information to come forward, but investigators faced limited witness cooperation and no arrests were announced immediately.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything the evening of October 31, 2012, that could help resolve this case?
