Michael Johnson

On June 15, 2014, Michael Johnson, a 22-year-old, was fatally shot while playing craps on the 1700 block of 103rd Avenue in East Oakland. The incident occurred when two men approached Johnson's group and began firing into the crowd. It appears that this was not a robbery but rather a gang-related shooting. After the shooting, the suspects fled the scene, and to date, they have not been apprehended. The motive remains unclear, and the case remains unsolved, contributing to the continuing violence affecting the area.
