Mauro Solis, 33, was shot and killed on February 8, 2015, on the 300 block of East 12th Street in East Oakland, California. A father of two, Solis’ death came during an altercation and was one of many violent incidents in Oakland that year; the city recorded 83 homicides in 2015. The neighborhood where the killing occurred has long struggled with concentrated violence, including shootings and gang-related activity, and Solis’ death added to that toll.

The Oakland Police Department asks anyone with information to come forward, but investigators face persistent challenges such as limited witness cooperation and community distrust of law enforcement. If anyone knew Mauro, was in the area that day, or has information that could help solve this killing, please contact the Oakland Police Department.
