Alex Goodwin was 22 and an aspiring rapper when he was killed on the night of August 18, 2016, in the San Pablo Park neighborhood of Berkeley, California. Officers found him unresponsive after a call just before midnight; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead a few hours later. Reports say he was shot outside his grandmother’s home after someone knocked and he stepped outside to check.

No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. The Berkeley Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward; the city increased the reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction from $15,000 to $50,000 in 2019, and that reward remains available. The family has been active in seeking justice, remembering Alex as a talented artist who helped his grandmother, Sarah Patterson, and they painted a mural on their home to keep the case in public view.

Does anyone in Berkeley remember anything about that night or about someone knocking at the grandmother’s door shortly before midnight on August 18, 2016?
