A preparatory high school in Oakland, Cristo Rey De La Salle, is grieving the loss of a student who was shot and killed during what appears to be an attempted robbery. Friends say the incident occurred while someone tried to steal the boy's backpack. A growing memorial at the site reflects the community's sorrow. The school administration has expressed their shock and harm to the community and is providing counseling services as they support both students and the grieving family in this difficult time.
It's so sad, this kid was a good kid, he liked sports, it was a beautiful family now devastated for this loss, Maria Hernandez, a friend of the victim said.
No parent should have to deal with such devastating tragedy. We are here to support them on their terms and their timeline... This loss has shocked and harmed the entire community.
Our mission at Cristo Rey De La Salle is to accompany our students. We are walking with them to support as they navigate grief, shock, and all the feelings that accompany a tragedy like this.
Friends of the victim's family say it was an attempted robbery, and someone was trying to take the boy's backpack when shots were fired.
