A USC student who is the son of an Oakland city councilwoman was shot and killed in an apparent robbery attempt about a mile from the campus early Sunday, officials said.
“I miss my baby. Please keep me, my family, and all of my son’s friends in your thoughts and prayers,” she said. “We are beginning a new chapter in this reoccurring circle of violence…. And it will take all of us together to make it through this tragedy.”
Three or four men approached the victim at the corner of Maple Avenue and Adams Boulevard in what appeared to be a robbery attempt, police said. Before moving to Los Angeles, McElhaney was an instructor at Oakland Public Conservatory of Music, Annenberg Media reported. USC interim President Wanda Austin wrote in a letter to students and faculty that McElhaney “believed in the power of music to touch lives, to heal, and to bring hope.”In 2015, Councilwoman McElhaney lost a close family friend — whom she considered a “grandson,” she told the— to gun violence. The 17-year-old boy, Torian Hughes, was shot during a robbery in West Oakland.
