Surveillance video obtained by KPIX 5 shows the brazen daylight attempted robbery of an older Asian woman Sunday afternoon that ended with the victim being fatally shot.
A suspect is seen getting out of the white vehicle and going around the Mercedes Benz to the passenger side where the suspect apparently demanded the victim's purse. Screams of protest followed by the sound of three gunshots can be heard in the audio from the clip before the suspect gets back into the white car and the suspect vehicle flees the scene.
"While the department has moved additional resources to that area, while the department has made some pretty key arrests in other violent incidents that have happened in that area, this unfortunate area in our city continues to be be impacted," said Armstrong."And I'm saddened by by what we have seen."
At the rally, residents felt compelled to grab the microphone and share their feelings of frustration and fear. One man said through a translator that as an elder it is"unacceptable and unbelievable that their hard-earned property, all their work they put in to raise their family, to take care of their family, is being robbed."
But some community members interrupted elected leaders to say they their response to crime isn't working. Bas said she was"sending love, condolences and support to the family of this victim. Please know that we share your grief, shock and loss and will do whatever it takes to identify those responsible to achieve justice for your family."
