Justice for Nate (Dwayne Nathan Hendricks, II)

My son was shot and killed in East Oakland, California May 1, 2010. It is almost three years and still there are no arrests, no charges, no justice. I need some answers, I need justice to prevail and some semblance of closure (as there can never be any real closure to the loss and grief we all experience on a daily basis). I'm getting angry now at the realization that some coward or cowards have taken away a beautiful life, my son's life: My daughter's only sibling, my daughter-in-law's husband, two of my grandchildren's father and my two other childrens' uncle and nephew to so many by blood and common bond. My son's life taken away so suddenly and so violently without any consequences or repercusions to those responsible. That's hard to live with.

Someone knows who committed this crime. People were out there and saw what happened. I'm asking and pleading with you to come forward and tell us what you saw and heard. Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for this tragedy.

I ask all of my Bay Area family and friends to share this information and keep it going for me please. I know the truth will be told sooner or later, but of course I want it much sooner than later.
