A 39-year-old man has been charged with murder in the shooting of a San Leandro nurse in downtown Oakland last month, officials said Tuesday.
Shacory Carnell Daniels is accused of killing the man on May 31 as the victim walked to his vehicle near 14th and Harrison streets, according to Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson.
Daniels was charged with murder, an attempted robbery-related felony charge, personal and intentional discharge of a firearm and possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, prosecutors said.
Oakland police said officers responded shortly after 2:45 a.m. to reports of a shooting in the 1400 block of Harrison Street. When police arrived, they found a man suffering from gunshot wounds. Paramedics took him to a hospital, where he died, police said.
The victim was identified as Lartey Solomon, 33, a registered nurse who was born and raised in Ghana before moving to the United States, according to an online fundraiser organized by his brother.
Solomon studied at Merritt College and earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Samuel Merritt University, according to the fundraiser. He worked as a registered nurse at Alameda Health Care and Kindred Hospital in San Leandro.
The fundraiser described Solomon as a devoted father, son, brother and friend who was known for his kindness, generosity and compassion for patients, relatives and others in his community.
He is survived by his young daughter and family in the United States and Ghana, according to the fundraiser. As of Tuesday, the GoFundMe had raised $3,777 toward a goal of $20,000.
Daniels was arrested in Menlo Park on June 4 at about 4 p.m., according to county jail records. He was arraigned Monday afternoon at Wiley Manuel Courthouse in Oakland, prosecutors said. He is scheduled to enter a plea at his next court hearing on June 30. He is being held without bail.
Daniels has six prior felony convictions between 2007 and July 2020 in Alameda, Contra Costa and Orange counties, according to court records first reported by the East Bay Times.
