The 96th slaying this year in Oakland on Tuesday is prompting police to reorganize and deploy additional officers in East Oakland and parts of West Oakland, Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said.
Police received calls at 10 a.m. Tuesday of shots fired in the 9600 block of Edes Avenue.
"This is not an effort to arrest everybody," he said. "This is an effort to arrest those that are driving the gun violence in our city." Armstrong wants police to increase their visibility to deter crime. The redeployment of officers to West Oakland will be in areas where groups and gangs congregate. Armstrong added that Oakland police will continue to work with San Francisco police to thwart violence caused by groups and gangs from San Francisco.He said it's important that his department respond.
