Hector Matias, an 18-year-old male, was fatally shot in East Oakland on November 9, 2012. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds and died after emergency personnel reached the scene. The killing occurred amid a surge of violence in Oakland that year, when the city recorded 127 homicides.

Authorities increased patrols and urged the community to come forward, but Matias’s murder remains unsolved, one of several cases that illustrate the difficulties Oakland faced in securing information and justice in 2012.

If anyone has information about Hector Matias or his death, please share what you know with investigators.
