Reggie Williams, 26, was fatally shot on May 19, 2008, in Oakland, California. His death occurred during a year that saw more than 100 homicides in the city and is cited as part of ongoing, concentrated gun violence in East and West Oakland.

The community response described at the time included frustration with a lack of progress on gun violence. Local efforts such as Ceasefire were in place but struggled with underfunding, conflicting policies, and low community trust. Strategies including gang injunctions and call-in programs drew skepticism when they appeared to single out individuals for restrictive orders.

If anyone knew Reggie Williams or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
