Kelly Jiles II Surrell, 34, was shot and killed on March 5, 2012, in East Oakland while driving a Bentley. The shooting caused his vehicle to crash into another car that was carrying two children. The incident occurred in a neighborhood then struggling with frequent gun violence and contributed to Oakland’s high homicide total for 2012.

Surrell’s death has been recounted as part of a broader wave of street violence that year. Community leaders and residents voiced concern and called for increased law enforcement and preventative measures, but few arrests were made and the family has been left without closure.
