Herron Adams, 26, was shot and killed the evening of October 1, 2012, outside the Two Star Market and Liquor Store at 2020 MacArthur Blvd in Oakland’s Dimond district. Adams had just bought a bottle of wine and, while walking back to his car, was struck by gunfire and fell through the store window; he died at the scene. The shooting was one of five killings in an 18-hour span that contributed to a rising homicide count in Oakland that year.

Known to family and friends as Whoop, Adams was the oldest of four siblings and had a 4-year-old son and a newborn. His sister Sandra said he had recently been released from jail and had previously survived another shooting. No arrests had been made and the case remained unsolved; the Oakland Police Department and Crime Stoppers offered up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Herron Adams, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
