Rivalries between San Francisco-based gangs are believed to be responsible for fatal shootings in Oakland that remain unsolved.
OAKLAND, CA – June 19: Officers and paramedics respond to a multi-injury shooting on the 2000 block of Lakeshore Avenue in Oakland, Calif., during Juneteenth celebrations at Lake Merritt on Saturday, June 19, 2021. OAKLAND — Police here say they have identified multiple suspects and persons of interest in two shooting deaths that occurred 14 months apart.
The investigations have led police to identify possible gang connections between numerous other shootings, including a prior attempt on Texada’s life. The gang motive was a common theme during both investigations, with one resident telling police that the killings had everything to do with San Francisco and nothing do with Oakland, authorities said.
Police say that both Texada and Rhoades appeared to have been targeted. In Texada’s case, his killer or killers passed by his home on 68th Avenue in the same vehicle seven times before he was fatally shot. The shooting happened after a silver SUV pulled up and an occupant began staring down Texada, then opened fire, authorities said.
Police believe one potential suspect posted a music video about the killings but later removed it from social media.
