Antwane Perkins, 27, a Black man, was killed on Memorial Day, May 26, 2025, in Stockton, California. Police were called late that afternoon to reports of gunfire in the 300 block of South San Joaquin Street, just south of Highway 4, and found Perkins and 19-year-old Jessie Hilliard Jr. both suffering gunshot wounds. Medics pronounced both men dead at the scene. The San Joaquin County Medical Examiner identified the victims two days later.

Officers initially believed the shooter might still be nearby and summoned a SWAT team to clear the area; multiple people were detained that day but no arrests were made then. Investigators later described the shooting as occurring about 4:45 p.m. near Lafayette and Sonora streets, close to the Crosstown Freeway.

On June 13, 2025, authorities arrested 19-year-old Devontae Holmes in a multi-agency operation called Operation White Noise, and a week later they apprehended a 16-year-old boy booked into juvenile hall on homicide charges. Police linked both suspects to the shooting and said firearms were seized as part of the coordinated crackdown. If anyone has information about that Memorial Day shooting or knew Antwane Perkins, please come forward.
