OAKLAND — A sniper who fired several shots during an hour-long manhunt last week has been identified publicly by Oakland police.

Jesse Ross Enjaian, 32, a computer science engineer, died hours after police shot him during the standoff in the 9500 block of Las Vegas Avenue on Friday. People saw Enjaian carrying a rifle with a scope and firing from the window of a home shortly after 9 a.m. on Friday. Related Articles Oakland police: Suspected sniper shot by officer dies

The Bay Area News Group identified him through sources Friday night.

Police have not commented on assertions by neighbors that Enjaian was a ticking time bomb.

Residents were nervous Enjaian would snap after shooting at parked cars at least twice and setting a Molotov cocktail in the week before the shooting.

Neighbor Clifton Simpson said police told him Feb. 14 that they would obtain a warrant for the shooter’s arrest, but Enjaian never was arrested.

“I said, ‘What happens if he snaps while you guys are gone?’” Simpson said Friday. “And this morning he snapped.”

Oakland police Officer Marco Marquez said Tuesday the department “initiated an internal affairs investigation into the department’s responses to prior incidents” on Feb. 10 and 14 that are connected to the 9500 block of Las Vegas Avenue.

He said the police reports “are not being released due to the active investigation.”

Police have not released any information about Enjaian. His profile on LinkedIn said he had degrees from UCLA, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Michigan Law School.

In 2014, he lost a lawsuit against the University of Michigan he had filed that claimed his fourth Amendment right had been violated when he was accused of stalking a student but without criminal charges being filed. When ALM Media Properties published a story about the stalking allegation in the National Law Journal, Enjaian sued the company for defamation and lost again.

Enjaian’s death marked the first fatal police shooting in Oakland since Nov. 15, 2015, when Richard Perkins Jr., 39, was killed near the intersection of 90th and Bancroft avenues.

The standoff did not injure anyone else.
