'I'm just a small little Asian girl. Not really much power. But here I am today.' After the recent fatal shootings on Oakland freeways, Barbara Nguyen, the sister of slain Alameda County Sheriff's recruit David Nguyen, is calling on the city leaders to take action to put an end to the senseless violence.
The family of 23-month of Jasper Wu, gathered at a makeshift memorial along the SouthBound lanes of 880 in Oakland late Monday morning.
Now, Nguyen says she's calling for action. Pleading with elected officials to do something to stop the senseless violence. One thing that's been discussed is adding a camera system along freeways in Oakland- a potential answer that so far as remained elusive.But the problem, local officials say, is out of their control. Since the freeways are owned by the state, it's up to Sacramento to take action.
"I think that that is something that's important. We can't have a CHP officer everywhere, all the time on our freeway system, so it's important that we take advantage of technology to do that," Taylor said.
