John Nicacio, 24, was shot and killed while driving on the 7700 block of Garfield Avenue in East Oakland on the afternoon of December 30, 2016. According to reports, gunfire struck his car at about 4:19 p.m.; he was hit several times and died at the scene despite officers and investigators responding quickly. Authorities publicly identified him in the days afterward but offered no motive and released no information pointing to a suspect.

Family and friends described Nicacio as a fun loving free spirit and organized to cover burial expenses. His death was recorded as one of Oakland’s final homicides for 2016 and appeared in year-end tallies. Few investigative details have been made public, and the case remains without an announced arrest.

Did anyone in East Oakland that afternoon see something that could help fill the gaps in this case?
