In Oakland, Marvin Boomer, 40, was killed by a driver fleeing from police while heroically pushing his girlfriend out of the way. His girlfriend was injured but survived due to his actions. Boomer's family is grieving, requesting privacy, and remembering him as a loving man. The driver, Eric Scott Hernandez-Garcia, faces charges of vehicular manslaughter. Boomer, a college and career coach at Castlemont High School, was adored by students, who expressed disbelief at his untimely death. The community supports the family during this tragedy, but they ask for respect as they mourn.
We are heartbroken and are asking the public to please let us mourn in peace, without speculation, disruption or unauthorized representation.
I lost the love of my life. I am living with unimaginable pain and I am begging the public and the media to please respect our privacy.
It's diabolically crazy that Mr. Boomer can't see us shine.
Marvin's actions spared her from also being killed... We appreciate the community's love and concern, but right now, we need space to grieve.
