(abc7news.com) Police said a third victim, a woman, was found shot in the 2800 block of 64th Avenue and was pronounced dead at the scene. On April 20, authorities identified the two people who died as Derrick Hubbard, 31, and Isaanae Morton, 24. (ktvu.com) The shooting happened in the Frick neighborhood, a part of East Oakland that has remained central to the city’s violence debate even as police report fewer killings citywide this year. Oakland police said reported Part I crimes fell 29% from Jan. 1 through March 31 compared with the same period in 2025. (cbsnews.com) Police also said homicides were down 39% in the first quarter of 2026, a drop that residents interviewed by KQED said has not always changed how safe they feel in daily life. KQED reported this month that many Oakland residents still described fear around car break-ins, robberies and gun violence despite the lower numbers.

As of this week, the department had not announced any arrests in the case. (abc7news.com)
