Gene Ransom, the beloved Berkeley basketball legend, was killed Friday evening in a freeway shooting along I-880 in Oakland, according to his close friends. Saturday morning, California Highway Patrol arrested the suspected gunman.
Juan Angel Garcia, 25, of San Francisco, was booked in Alameda County jail, suspected of killing Ransom, who has not been identified by the Alameda County coroner, though close friends of Ransom tell KTVU Ransom was the man who was killed. Garcia will be arraigned on February 9.
"We are shocked to hear the reports that Cal Athletics Hall of Famer Gene Ransom has been identified as a victim in a deadly freeway shooting," Cal Athletics said in a statement. "Our thoughts are with Gene’s family and friends for this tragic loss. Gene was one of the greatest players in our men’s basketball program’s history, and he will be greatly missed."
Todd Walker, who knew Ransom and his siblings from childhood, remembers him as "Gene the Dream," a kid who stood 5'9", and made hoops history playing for Berkeley High School in the 1970's.
