OAKLAND A 67-year-old man fatally shot outside his West Oakland home last week was an innocent victim hit by a stray bullet fired during a gun battle between the occupants of moving vehicles, police said. Tony Jerome Norman was shot about 5 p.m. Aug. 27 after walking home from BART to his residence in the 700 block of 17th Street after completing his shift as a security guard at a San Francisco Kaiser Permanente hospital.

Gunshots were reported around 5 p.m. in the 700 block of 17th Street, according to the Oakland Police Department. Officers arrived to find a person suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Medical personnel pronounced the victim dead at the scene. Police did not publicly identify the person.

Prescott Meats quietly shuttered just months after opening in West Oakland's Prescott Market, known for its loaded Reuben sandwiches, pasture-raised meats and made-to-order foods.
