A 23-year-old man, who was already partially paralyzed, was shot and killed in his room in the middle of the night at an Oakland care facility.
Paris Moffett was killed in his room at Lake Merritt Healthcare Center on MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland's Adams Point neighborhood just before 1 a.m. Saturday.
"I can't believe anybody would do that to somebody that's not even able to even protect themselves," his mother said. She said her son was wounded in the earlier shooting as he left a wake for one of her relatives. Tony Chicotel, an attorney with California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, said there is a delicate balance between allowing visitors at such facilities all hours and ensuring safety.
