Community reacts<\/p>\n
What they’re saying<\/p>\n
The violence has shaken longtime residents, including Melvina Hardaway, who has lived in the neighborhood for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n
“Maybe more police around. I think that\u2019s what we need,” Hardaway said, adding that she now carries a pocket knife and stays constantly aware of her surroundings.<\/p>\n
Crime trends<\/p>\n
By the numbers<\/p>\n
The shooting comes as the Oakland Police Department reports a drop in violent crime.<\/p>\n
Department data shows homicides are down 39% in the first three months of 2026 compared with the same period last year.<\/p>\n
Still, some residents remain skeptical.<\/p>\n
Alfredo Romero, a lifelong East Oakland resident, expressed frustration with the response to crime.<\/p>\n
“Criminals just aren\u2019t cracked down upon,” Romero said. “Every elected leader we\u2019ve had so far is just [talk], and no one really delivers.”<\/p>\n
