OAKLAND — Police posted surveillance-camera footage Tuesday depicting the fatal weekend shooting of a ride-share driver by two suspects in hopes of identifying the suspects.
Oakland police Chief LeRonne Armstrong decried the shooting, currently under investigation as a possible robbery, at a press conference Monday afternoon in the same block.
Armstrong said Kon Fung, 52, of Oakland, was working when the suspects approached him and either tried to rob him of his belongings or take his car by force.
The footage, time-stamped at 10:56 a.m. Sunday, appears to have been shot from at least one floor above the 2000 block of 13th Avenue. It shows two males, one wearing a bright yellow hooded sweatshirt, light blue jeans and white sneakers, and the other wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, light blue jeans and white sneakers, approach the driver’s side of a parked car where Fung was sitting.
After a four-second confrontation that began with them yelling at Fung to get out of the car, a lone gunshot can be heard, followed by the suspects turning and jogging away from the car.
In a statement posted by the department, police said detectives “are asking you to listen closely to the voices and watch the mannerisms of those in the video.”
Oakland police and CrimeStoppers of Oakland are offering up to $12,500 in rewards for information leading to an arrest.
Anyone with information may call the department’s homicide section at 510-238-3821 or its tip line at 510-238-7950.
