Officer-Involved Shooting in the area of 22nd Avenue and East 28th Street
The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) that occurred around 10:30 a.m. on August 30, 2026, near 22nd Avenue and East 28th Street (Manzanita Park). OPD's Communications Division received calls about a man threatening to kill a female victim.
As officers arrived and exited their vehicles, the armed suspect fired at them. Officers returned fire but did not hit him. The suspect ran from the area, and officers quickly moved the victim to safety to be evaluated.
Additional officers were called to the scene, including OPD’s Tactical team, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) aerial support, and outside law enforcement agencies to set up a perimeter as the search for the suspect began.
With help from community members, officers located the suspect in an abandoned home in the 2600 block of 22nd Avenue. Just before 3:00 p.m., the suspect lit items on fire, threw them at officers, and set the home ablaze. For community safety, officers deployed a minimal amount of gas in an effort to force the suspect out. The suspect exited and fought officers as they tried to take him into custody. He was later taken into custody by OPD’s Tactical and K9 Teams and taken to a hospital for evaluation. The Oakland Fire Department extinguished the fire.
No other community members, including officers, were physically injured.
We appreciate the community’s ongoing support in our investigations.
In accordance with OPD policy, the officers involved in the incident will be placed on paid administrative leave.
Consistent with OPD policy, the OIS is under investigation by the Oakland Police Department. The Alameda County District Attorney's Office and the Community Police Review Agency (CPRA) have been notified of the incident.
The Oakland Police Department remains committed to transparency and recognizes the community’s concerns. To protect the investigation’s integrity, information is limited at this time.
