‘Our community is suffering’: Rideshare driver gunned down in Oakland
A man fatally shot Sunday morning just outside Oakland’s Little Saigon neighborhood was working as a ridesharing driver when two assailants tried to rob or carjack him before gunning him down just feet from his car, Oakland police said Monday.
“We are troubled by the brazen act of violence that occurred here,” Armstrong said, during a news conference at the location where Fung was shot. “Our community is suffering.” Fung was one of three people killed in a 60-hour span in the city. On Friday night, a 52-year-old man was fatally shot after getting into an argument with another person he knew at the Lake District Apartments at Harrison and 15th streets. Another man was fatally shot at about 5:30 a.m. Monday in the 10400 block of Pippin Street — a killing that brought the city’s homicide tally to 64 for the year.
The killing on 13th Avenue has sent shockwaves through the surrounding community. The police beat that includes the Little Saigon neighborhood, which is a few blocks to the west and stretches from 2nd Avenue to 14th Avenue, has become the most violent neighborhood in the city, Armstrong said Monday, prompting him to begin flooding the area with more officers in the coming weeks. However, the department did not immediately provide crime stats for that police beat.
