Ledell Moss was fatally shot in Oakland, California, on October 18, 2012. He was 47 years old at the time. His death occurred during a year when Oakland recorded 127 homicides, a level of violence that was an ongoing concern for the city and its police department.

The Oakland Police Department investigated Moss’s killing as part of its broader workload during a period of high-volume violent crime. The department cited limited resources, fear of retaliation among potential witnesses, and the involvement of gang-related activity and disputes as factors that complicated solving homicides then.

Anyone with information about Ledell Moss or his killing is urged to contact investigators and share what they know.
