Two arrested in Oakland after fatal quadruple shooting
Victims' family says an altercation over a blocked driveway led to shooting that killed 2 and injured 2 in Oakland
The family of two sisters shot over the weekend in Oakland say they were among 4 victims of senseless gun violence. One sister died at the scene and the other underwent surgery Tuesday afternoon. One man was also killed, and a third woman was injured. Family members say an altercation over one neighbor blocking a driveway with his parked car led to the deadly shooting.
Oakland - Police arrested two suspects Monday in connection with a quadruple shooting in Oakland that killed two people and injured two others over the weekend.
The Oakland Police Department has not released the names of the two suspects, but it said they were arrested on suspicion of homicide.
Family members of two victims identified them as sisters: 35-year-old Waltrise Dilliehunt, and 38-year-old Angel Dilliehunt.
An initial investigation revealed that an argument broke out around 9 a.m. in the 1600 block of 83rd Avenue, followed by gunfire that struck four victims.
The Dilliehunts' family said on Saturday morning around 9 o'clock, Waltrice returned to her apartment in East Oakland with her sister to get a change of clothing to prepare for her 8-year-old niece's birthday party. A neighbor had parked his car in the driveway of the housing complex and blocked access to the parking lot.
When Waltrice asked the man to move his car, the man's girlfriend got into an altercation with Waltrice. Family members said the man pulled out a gun and opened fire, killing Waltrice and a male friend who was nearby.
"That's no reason to pull out a gun and kill her, no. It leaves us in a state of disbelief and shock," Waltrise's mother, Tonya Wanhook, said.
Waltrice's sister Angel survived despite being shot four times. Family members said she underwent surgery on her arm Tuesday afternoon and she's now recovering.
"My mom, I'm glad she's okay cause if I would have lost her too, it would have been way worse for me. I can barely take my auntie being gone," said Angel’s 16-year-old daughter Patience Dilliehunt.
The condition of the second female victim who suffered gunshot wounds is unknown. Waltrice was raising her four-year-old daughter as a single mother.
The family has started a GoFundMe campaign to help with funeral and medical expenses.
