Jason Markel Wills, 46, of Oakland was fatally shot on December 20, 2024, during a violent custody-related confrontation on Fairmount Avenue north of Lake Merritt. His brother, Nathanuel Jamar Wills, was also shot and killed in the same incident.

Authorities charged 33-year-old Tommy Ramsey with the murders of Jason and Nathanuel. Prosecutors say Ramsey was engaged in a dispute with his child’s mother during a custody exchange when he allegedly opened fire. Ramsey faces two counts of murder, firearm special allegations, an allegation of personal and intentional discharge of a firearm causing great bodily injury, and two strikes; a plea hearing was scheduled for the Monday after his arrest. Grissom’s Mortuary recorded Jason’s death as December 20, 2024. The welfare of the child involved has not been disclosed.

Does anyone have information about the scene on Fairmount Avenue that evening or knew Jason’s movements that day?
