Bryant Perry, 44, was shot and killed in Oakland’s Chinatown on February 19, 2012. He was found with gunshot wounds in the 700 block of Webster Street in the early morning and was pronounced dead at the scene. His death occurred during a single weekend that saw multiple homicides, a spate of violence that alarmed the city and stretched police resources.

The Oakland Police Department opened an investigation and urged witnesses to come forward, but the case faced the same investigative challenges that affected many homicide inquiries in Oakland at that time. Perry’s killing remains a stark example of the violence that troubled the city in the early 2010s.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on Webster Street or has information that could help, please come forward to the Oakland Police Department.
