Ellis Mcfee, a 42-year-old resident of Oakland, California, was shot to death and found in East Oakland on September 6, 2012. His killing occurred during a year when the city recorded 127 homicides and violent crime was concentrated in East and West Oakland.

City officials at the time said nearly 90% of homicides occurred in those neighborhoods. The Oakland Police Department was described as understaffed and resource-constrained, with a low clearance rate that left many cases, including Mcfee’s, unsolved and families without closure.

Did anyone in East Oakland in September 2012 have information about Mcfee’s movements or who might have been responsible?
