Bryant Walton, a 39-year-old man, was shot and killed on January 17 in West Oakland, with police confirming the killing after extensive investigations. Initially, Walton was brought to the hospital by a man claiming the shooting occurred on 7th Street, but police found no evidence there. Walton, previously charged with a murder in 2009 related to gang feuds, had managed to beat the rap due to lack of evidence. The ongoing investigation into his death has yet to produce any arrests, with authorities still determining the exact scene of the crime.
"Walton was a documented member of the West Oakland-based Acorn gang, who beat a murder case in 2009. He was arrested and charged with killing 29-year-old Kevin McKinsey, of Stockton, while aiming at a rival Ghost Town gang member. "
"Police attributed other East Bay killings to the feud, including the 2009 death of Jermel Holloway in Oakland and the 2006 slaying of Wendell Weezy Stevenson in Fremont."
