OAKLAND, Calif. – The killing of a treasured teacher and musician in a mass shooting at an Oakland nightclub<\/a> over the weekend has left her loved ones reeling.<\/p>\n Latetia Bobo<\/a>, 33, was killed Saturday in a shooting at EZ\u2019s Lounge near 14th and Franklin streets<\/a>. Markise Martin, 24, was also killed in the gunfire.<\/p>\n \u2018Not coping well at all\u2019 <\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n Sofala Mayfield, a music producer and songwriter who worked with Bobo, said he is struggling to process her death.<\/p>\n “Not coping well at all,” Mayfield said Tuesday. “Amazing person. The last person that something like this should happen to.”<\/p>\n He said he is also angry.<\/p>\n “How did those guns get in there?” Mayfield asked. “How was that place open at four in the morning?”<\/p>\n KTVU has learned from sources that investigators believe Martin and another man got into an argument inside the nightclub and opened fire on each other.<\/p>\n Surveillance video posted on social media shows Martin on the ground. Sources said that before he died, Martin fired an AR-15-style rifle into the crowd, fatally striking Bobo and wounding five others.<\/p>\n Police have not publicly confirmed those details and have not announced any arrests.<\/p>\n The Alameda County District Attorney\u2019s Office will explore whether the surviving gunman could face criminal charges in Bobo\u2019s death.<\/p>\n Slain teacher was also singer <\/p>\n Dig deeper:<\/p>\n Bobo was also an R&B singer.<\/p>\n “She was determined, she was stubborn, she was purposeful, she was everything I want my kid to grow up to be,” Mayfield said.<\/p>\n She was also an eighth-grade English language arts teacher at Caliber Beta Academy in San Pablo. Students returned to campus Tuesday for the first time since her death.<\/p>\n Robin DeGracia, whose two children were taught by Bobo, described her as transformative.<\/p>\n “She was a force to be reckoned with,” DeGracia said. “Ms. Bobo was an amazing teacher who met the students where they needed to be.”<\/p>\n DeGracia said she is in shock at what happened to Bobo, losing a beloved teacher so violently.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m at the angry stage of grief,” she said. “Now not only does my daughter have to deal with the loss of a teacher, but she has to deal with understanding that gun violence is random.”<\/p>\n Mayfield echoed that sentiment.<\/p>\n “She was a light and it was taken from us,” he said. “We gotta do better.”<\/p>\n Nightclub lacked permits <\/p>\n Oakland city officials said Tuesday that the nightclub had an operational permit but did not have a valid state liquor license or city entertainment permit.<\/p>\n Officials said the city was building a public nuisance case against the establishment at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n Henry Lee is a KTVU crime reporter.
