Williams was among the 94 homicide victims in Oakland that year, marking another instance of the city's persistent challenges with violent crime.
The shooting happened during a time when Oakland was grappling with increasing numbers of homicides, with many cases going unsolved due to community distrust and a lack of cooperation with law enforcement.

Community leaders and family members sought justice, urging anyone with information to come forward to help solve the case.
