Eddie Jones, 62, was beaten to death in West Oakland on January 23, 2011, around 10:50 p.m. The assault occurred in the 1100 block of Center Street; Jones sustained fatal injuries from the beating. Authorities later identified 33-year-old Nathaniel L. Davis, also of Oakland, as a suspect and a warrant was issued for his arrest in August 2012.

Tips from citizens and undisclosed physical evidence helped lead investigators to Davis, who was arrested in Oakland on December 27 and held without bail at Santa Rita Jail. Police said they were unsure of any relationship between Davis and Jones or what the motive might have been. Upon arrest, Davis declined to speak with investigators and was scheduled to enter a plea on January 28 in Alameda County Superior Court.

If anyone knew Eddie Jones or saw activity near the 1100 block of Center Street on the night of January 23, 2011, please share what you know.
