It was one of several shootings reported near the park at the time and police said it didn't appear to be a random attack.

"Ten years later, detectives continue to investigate this case and believe there are individuals who may have information that could help bring those responsible to justice," Berkeley police said in a news release Wednesday. "Even the smallest detail could prove critical to solving this case."
