Desiree Davis was a 17-year-old high school student killed in a drive-by shooting on September 7, 2009, in North Oakland, California. Originally from New Orleans, her family had moved to California after losing their home in Hurricane Katrina. Desiree was born blind in one eye, endured bullying, and had been robbed months before her death, yet friends and family described her as creative, determined, and passionate about art, animals, music, and community life.

Witnesses reported a red car drove by a gathering and fired more than 20 shots; Desiree, who was not involved in gang activity, was struck and killed. The Oakland Police Department is seeking help from the community and has offered rewards for information; the case remains unsolved and the family continues to seek justice.

Did anyone who knew Desiree or was in North Oakland that night see the red car or anything that could help investigators?
