Sixteen-year-old Antonio Chato Nunez Jr. was shot and killed on the night of December 4, 2009, in front of his mother’s home in Oakland, California. Antonio and his younger brother had returned from their father’s house after spending the day with their mother at church. While sitting in a truck outside the house, multiple gunmen emerged from a nearby van and opened fire without warning. Antonio was fatally wounded and died within minutes; his 15-year-old brother and an uncle were also shot and taken to the hospital.

Antonio is remembered by family and friends as cheerful, family-oriented, and ambitious—he wanted to become a doctor and planned to help provide for his mother. The Oakland Police believe the shooting may have been gang-related, though neither Antonio nor his brother were involved in gang activity. The case remains unsolved, with no suspects or arrests, and a reward has been offered for information that might lead to justice.

If anyone knew Antonio or saw activity around his mother’s home that night, please share what you know with investigators.
