OAKLAND, Calif. – A 17-year-old accused of plowing into several pedestrians in East Oakland over the weekend, killing three of them, was speeding at the time of the crash<\/a>, authorities said Monday.<\/p>\n Interim Oakland Police Chief James Beere said the teen was arrested after the crash, which happened around 11:15 p.m. Saturday near 85th Avenue and International Boulevard. The suspect has not been formally charged.<\/p>\n Beere said the case has been submitted to the Alameda County District Attorney\u2019s Office for review and possible charges.<\/p>\n 3 killed, 3 injured <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n The crash killed three men who were standing on a street corner outside East Bay Market & Liquor, police said. Three other people were injured.<\/p>\n Investigators said the teenage suspect was driving a pickup truck at a high rate of speed when he crashed into the group of pedestrians.<\/p>\n Authorities believe the teen lost control while attempting to make a U-turn, striking parked cars before hitting the victims.<\/p>\n Police said the teen was allegedly driving about over 50 mph in the 25 mph zone.<\/p>\n “I can tell you it was definitely reckless driving and completely not acceptable,” Beere said.<\/p>\n The teen was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run.<\/p>\n Dig deeper:<\/p>\n After the crash, the teen allegedly tried to flee the scene but was detained by witnesses until officers arrived, police said.<\/p>\n Authorities said the suspect had a valid driver\u2019s license and that the pickup truck was not stolen.<\/p>\n Surveillance video captured the truck speeding down the street as some victims attempted to move out of the way.<\/p>\n “It was shocking and it was sad to see it,” a worker at the market said.<\/p>\n “We just heard the noise and then we came out and see people laid down on the floor. And nobody [even] realized what\u2019s going on. A lot of people screaming.”<\/p>\n Community mourns victims <\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n On Monday, a memorial of candles and flowers outside the store honored the victims.<\/p>\n Friends and family identified one of the men killed as Robert Dixon, known in the neighborhood as “OG Frog.”‘<\/p>\n Community members described Dixon as a regular presence in the area who often helped those short on cash and kept the peace.<\/p>\n “He asks them, \u2018What you need?\u2019” the market worker said. “Sometimes some problems here, [but] he comes talk to them, calm them down.”<\/p>\n Investigation continues <\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n The crash occurred in Oakland City Councilmember Ken Houston\u2019s district.<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t want anybody making assumptions, saying this happened, that happened,” Houston said. “Let the investigators investigate it and find out the truth behind what happened.”<\/p>\n Police said one of the injured victims remains in critical condition, another is stable and a third has been released from the hospital.<\/p>\n Oakland<\/a>Crime and Public Safety<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND, Calif. – A 17-year-old accused of plowing into several pedestrians in East Oakland over the weekend, killing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[389,1184,2042,100,143,145,144,1181],"class_list":["post-322127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-alameda-county","tag-ca","tag-crime-publicsafety","tag-news","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"San](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/q7c4rq0fu4kf9f08.jpg\")
