Dejuan Henley, a 33-year-old man from Oakland, California, was fatally shot on December 1, 2008. The shooting took place around 9:53 p.m. in the 6700 block of MacArthur Boulevard in East Oakland. Henley, who was killed instantly, was familiar with some people in the area, but investigators were unable to immediately establish a motive for the crime. No suspects were identified, and the case remains unsolved.
Henley's death added to the grim toll of homicides in Oakland that year, with 118 homicides reported by early December 2008. The investigation remains open, and authorities continue to seek information that might help bring justice to Henley's family.
