Community reacts
What they're saying:
The violence has shaken longtime residents, including Melvina Hardaway, who has lived in the neighborhood for more than 50 years.
"Maybe more police around. I think that’s what we need," Hardaway said, adding that she now carries a pocket knife and stays constantly aware of her surroundings.
Crime trends
By the numbers:
The shooting comes as the Oakland Police Department reports a drop in violent crime.
Department data shows homicides are down 39% in the first three months of 2026 compared with the same period last year.
Still, some residents remain skeptical.
Alfredo Romero, a lifelong East Oakland resident, expressed frustration with the response to crime.
"Criminals just aren’t cracked down upon," Romero said. "Every elected leader we’ve had so far is just [talk], and no one really delivers."
