Lemuel Wilson was a 51-year-old man from Oakland, California, who was killed on March 4, 2012.

Wilson’s death occurred in a year when Oakland recorded 127 homicides. The account notes challenges facing the Oakland Police Department at the time—limited resources and understaffing—and mentions lower clearance rates for homicides involving Black victims, factors that contributed to many families not getting closure.
