Ezra Flowers, 20, was fatally shot on July 7, 2011, on the 7100 block of International Boulevard in Oakland, California. He was one of several people wounded in a string of shootings over the Fourth of July weekend; Ezra was pronounced dead that Friday evening after succumbing to his injuries.

The Oakland Police Department struggled to identify suspects or a motive in Ezra’s killing, and the case remained among many unsolved homicides during a 2011 spike in gun violence in the city. Family and community members were left without answers as investigators did not develop concrete leads.

Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood in July 2011 or who knew Ezra have information that could help bring clarity to what happened?
