David Edward Deporis, a 40-year-old musician from Oakland, California, was killed on August 9, 2017. He was sitting at an outdoor café in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood when a thief grabbed his laptop — which contained much of his music — and fled into a waiting car. Deporis chased the vehicle, was dragged for several blocks, sustained critical injuries and later died at a hospital.

Deporis was well known in the local music scene for his songwriting and performances, and his death drew tributes from family, friends and fellow musicians. A $15,000 reward was offered for information leading to the arrest of the suspect, but no immediate leads emerged.

Did anyone in the Temescal area see the theft or the vehicle involved that afternoon and hasn’t yet come forward?
