Oakland police announced the arrest of two juveniles, aged 13 and 11, linked to a deadly shooting stemming from a scooter robbery. On December 26, the father of a 13-year-old victim, Ponciano Chano Tule Bernal, confronted the alleged robbers, which led to his fatal shooting. The 13-year-old suspect faces robbery charges, while the 11-year-old was not charged due to his age. A 15-year-old, Neal Cox, had already been jailed earlier on murder and robbery charges related to this incident. This case highlights concerns over rising youth crime in Oakland.
Police officials announced on Thursday the arrests of two boys, ages 13 and 11, in connection to a scooter robbery that led to a fatal shooting.
California law prohibits criminal prosecution of children under 12 for most crimes, which influenced the decisions regarding charges for the arrested juveniles.
