On August 20, 2023, at about 6:00 AM, Oakland police found 23-year-old Guillermo Kelly-Torres in the 9200 block of E Street suffering from apparent gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Kelly-Torres had immigrated from El Rosario, Mexico, at age 14 and was remembered for photography, painting and dance. His father said he supported younger siblings in Mexico by sending money; the night before his death he told his father he was going out dancing and did not return.

Investigators identified 26-year-old Oakland resident Juan Sura-Martinez as the primary suspect after reports that the two had met less than three hours before the shooting and argued, and that Sura-Martinez allegedly shot Kelly-Torres. Sura-Martinez surrendered later that morning at the Eastmont substation and was taken into custody; the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office charged him with homicide. Kelly-Torres’s family describe him as generous and artistic and say his death has left a profound emptiness.

Did anyone in Oakland see Kelly-Torres the night of August 19 or the morning of August 20 who hasn’t spoken to investigators?
