The death of a homeless man Wednesday outside a vacant business in Oakland's Chinatown is being investigated as the city's latest homicide, as city, police and community leaders reacted to recent violence.
The victim was found dead from blunt force trauma in the doorway of a storefront near 10th and Harrison streets at about 7:30 a.m.
"It's very sad and depressing for Oakland and the Chinatown community in general," said David Woo of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior, which owns the building where the man was killed. The church was hit by an arson fire early Friday morning.Crime scenes have indeed been a constant across the city.A 15-month-old girl was shot in the stomach while riding in her family's car in the Eastlake neighborhood.
"We have to find ways to prevent crimes in the first place, and it's not comforting for anyone, especially families," said Carl Chan, president of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber Foundation.
