Suspects sought in violent Oakland crime spree OAKLAND

Oakland police are searching for one or more assailants who beat up a man and shot and paralyzed another man who came to his aid early Saturday before brazenly shooting and killing a woman in her car, authorities said Saturday.

The crime spree began at 12:50 a.m. when a man was assaulted during a robbery at a taco truck at the corner of 44th Avenue and International Boulevard, said Officer Jeff Thomason, Oakland police spokesman.

A witness to the robbery placed the injured man in his car, but the assailant or assailants chased the Good Samaritan around the corner and shot him, Thomason said. That victim, a 38-year-old man from Oakland, was paralyzed.

Soon after, Adrienne Parker, 37, was shot and killed in her car nearby, Thomason said.

No arrests have been made.
