Oakland flea market<\/a> that authorities say stemmed from a dispute over competing sales of fake identification cards.<\/p>\nIsrael Colin Figueroa, 49, was charged with murder in the Jan. 9 killing of Jorge Alberto Rivas Rodriguez at the Oakland Coliseum Swap Meet, according to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n
Figueroa is the uncle of Rodriguez’s brother-in-law.<\/p>\n
His son, Dillan Figueroa-Cabrera, 22, is charged with being an accessory and threatening a witness. Prosecutors allege Figueroa-Cabrera helped his father flee the county after the shooting and later threatened to shoot and kill a witness.<\/p>\n

Shooting at busy swap meet<\/p>\n
What we know<\/p>\n
Rodriguez was found fatally shot in the parking lot of the Oakland Coliseum Swap Meet, one of the Bay Area’s busiest flea markets, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the shooting occurred during a dispute related to the sale of fake identification cards.<\/p>\n
At the time, vendors were selling merchandise to crowds of shoppers.<\/p>\n
“He was inside the parking lot of the flea market here,” said Al Perales, who works at a nearby tire shop. “Then obviously everyone started to scatter.”<\/p>\n
Aerial footage from the scene showed a section of the parking lot cordoned off with yellow police tape as officers surrounded a parked Tesla Cybertruck.<\/p>\n
The swap meet is open seven days a week and draws vendors selling a wide range of merchandise. Authorities have said the area has also attracted people selling stolen goods tied to organized retail theft.<\/p>\n
