"This is a heinous crime. It just speaks to the level of craziness that's going on in our city. Not only our city, but across the country. This has to stop," said OPD Capt. Bobby Hookfin. "This has to stop. There's no reason for this nonsense in broad daylight at 8th and Broadway in the City of Oakland."
A man who identified himself as the brother of the victim arrived at the scene. He was clearly distraught. After he entered the restricted area, past yellow police tape, police were seen pushing him away from the crime scene investigation. With his hands up, he insisted he did not want his deceased brother lying out in the street. However, protocol is to wait for the Alameda County coroner to arrive to the scene.
OPD wanted to point out that while the shooting borders Old Oakland and Chinatown, that the victim was not of Asian descent.
Officials are seeking any surveillance video from nearby business and AC Transit buses that may have captured the shooting.
SkyFOX flew above the scene and saw several evidence markers blanketing the sidewalk. Alameda County Sheriff's Department deputies were helping canvass the scene.
No other information was immediately available.
