Arian Hay, 32, of Oakland, California, was one of 104 people killed in the city in 2011. Hay died on November 7, 2011, amid a year that saw a renewed spike in homicides after a brief decline the previous year. The pattern that year disproportionately affected young Black males and was concentrated in economically challenged neighborhoods in East and West Oakland.

Local homicide clearance rates that year were low, and community responses emphasized social and economic remedies as part of efforts to reduce violence.

If anyone knew Arian Hay or has information about the circumstances of his death, please share what can help investigators or the family.
