Lamont Price was 17 when he was shot and killed in broad daylight on the 8100 block of Birch Street in Oakland, California, shortly before 4 p.m. on February 16, 2012. The slaying left his family devastated; his sister Brijjanna was 16 at the time and later became a young mother, and his father Ramon Price Sr. said Lamont remains on his mind every day. A vigil was held a year after the killing with family and friends in attendance, and as of that anniversary no arrests had been announced. The shooting was one of many that year as Oakland recorded 131 homicides, underscoring concerns about gun violence affecting young African American males.

Anyone with information about Lamont’s death or who remembers that afternoon on Birch Street is asked to come forward.
