Shooting Investigation Leads to Firearm and Narcotic Recoveries

The Oakland Police Department (OPD) has recovered nearly 1,200 firearms so far this year, the same amount in all of 2021.

On October 2, 2022, shortly after 7:30 p.m., OPD Patrol Officers assigned to Police Area 1, responded to a shooting inside a residence in the 3100 block of Martin Luther King Jr Way. When officers arrived, they located one victim who had sustained gunshot wounds. Officers provided medical treatment to the victim until they were relieved by medical personnel. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment with non-life threatening injuries.

During the investigation, officers learned the shooting took place inside the residence, as officers located evidence of a shooting which included shell casings.  Two individuals were arrested at the scene for their involvement in the shooting.

Officers were issued a search warrant to enter the residence.  Ultimately, multiple handguns, ammunition, and a large amount of suspected narcotics, which included a kilogram of suspected cocaine were recovered from an associated vehicle.

This is an ongoing investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division at (510) 238-3426.
