It was an especially tragic day in Oakland on Wednesday when four people were killed in three separate shootings in a time span of nearly 11 hours.
This brings the total number of homicides this year to 57, compared to 62 at the same point in 2022.
A short time later, another victim arrived at a hospital with a gunshot wound, according to police spokeswoman Rosalia Lopez. Mayor Sheng Thao weighed in on the violence, saying that reducing gun violence continues to be a top priority for her.
