On April 21, 2014, Louis Montgomery, a 35-year-old man from Oakland, California, was fatally shot while driving near the 1400 block of 104th Avenue in East Oakland. The shooting occurred just after 5 p.m., and following the attack, Montgomery's vehicle crashed into a light pole. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities believe that Montgomery was shot nearby and continued driving until he lost control of the car due to his injuries.
At the time, no motive was immediately identified, and the case remained unsolved, adding to the growing number of homicides in Oakland that year. The police urged anyone with information to come forward, hoping that witnesses or community members might assist in solving the case.
