In Oakland, police have linked at least seven shootings that appear to target businesses along the International Boulevard corridor, most notably a cafe that was attacked multiple times after rejecting demands for money. No injuries occurred in these incidents, with authorities suspecting a coordinated shakedown of local businesses. The shootings involved significant gunfire, including an incident at a smoke shop where dozens of rounds were fired. Investigators are looking into these cases, noting the lack of arrests so far and the potential implications of organized crime in the area.
The apparent shakedown and evidence definitively linking the seven 2024 shootings have led police to investigate the possibility that the incidents are part of attempts to shake down local businesses.
Serious multiple incidents of gunfire are occurring on International Boulevard, primarily targeting a cafe that refused financial demands of a group, indicative of organized intimidation.
