Damien Raymond, 29, of Oakland, California, was killed in a shooting on May 29, 2009. His death occurred in one of the city’s most violent neighborhoods and was counted among the more than 100 homicides recorded in Oakland that year.

The shooting is described as part of a pattern of concentrated gun violence in East and West Oakland, often occurring within the so-called 100 blocks where illegal firearms, gang activity, poverty, and scarce violence-prevention resources have been chronic problems. Raymond’s killing is cited as an example of the many cases that remain unsolved or difficult to prosecute because of few witnesses and limited actionable evidence.

If anyone knew Damien Raymond or has information about the shooting on May 29, 2009, please come forward to help provide answers to his family.
