Jonathan Scott was 18 when he was shot and killed in Oakland, California, on July 22, 2010. The killing occurred in a neighborhood long affected by high rates of violent crime tied to gang activity and community violence.

His death came during a year when Oakland recorded about 90 homicides, and is described as one of many young lives lost to gun violence in the city. Reports note that while some forms of gang-related homicide have declined, other violence including robberies and opportunistic shootings increased, and many Oakland homicides remain unsolved amid a shortage of witnesses or community cooperation.

If anyone knew Jonathan, was in the area that day, or has information that could help bring answers to his family, please come forward.
