OAKLAND — A man who served prison time for his role in a 2016 Oakland fatal shooting is now being sought by police who say he is the suspected driver of a Mercedes Benz that fled the scene after hitting and killing a 6-year-old boy and his mother Saturday night in East Oakland.

Police identified the man as Rasenoch Allen, 27, of Oakland.

Authorities said Allen was free on bail at the time for a July 2018 arrest in Humboldt County where he is being prosecuted for conspiracy to commit residential robbery and was scheduled to appear in a Humboldt County court on May 21.

Up to $25,000 in reward money is being offered by police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland for information leading to his arrest.

The Alameda County Sheriff’s Officer coroner’s bureau identified the boy and his mother Sunday afternoon as Angel Garcia, 6, and Alma Vasquez, 30, of Oakland.

A 20-year-old Oakland man who was with the boy and his mother was also critically injured. Police said they were told the man is the boy’s uncle.

Police said the boy, his mother and the uncle were apparently heading for a laundromat in the area. They had entered a marked crosswalk about 7:21 p.m. Saturday at 26th Avenue and Foothill Boulevard when they were struck by a two-door black Mercedes going west on Foothill. The vehicle continued without stopping.

The boy and his mother were taken to hospitals where they were pronounced dead. The 20-year-old man remains hospitalized.

Police later located the Mercedes abandoned in another area of Oakland. Allen was identified as the driver through witness statements and video surveillance recovered in the area, police said.

Investigators said it is unknown if alcohol was a factor in the collision with the pedestrians.

A GoFundMe fund-raising account page set up early Sunday evening by International Community School principal Eleanor Alderman had nearly met a $15,000 goal by 10 p.m. before approaching an additional $25,000 goal by 4:30 p.m. Monday.

“Our ICS community is fundraising for funeral expenses for both mother and son and any additional support dad will need,” said a page statement that described Angel as a kindergartner at the school.

According to authorities and prior media accounts, Allen was arrested in May 2016 and initially charged with murder in the March 2016 fatal shooting of a man in the 3300 block of International Boulevard. Authorities said Allen was the driver of a car that the man who actually did the shooting escaped in.

Allen was allowed to eventually plead no contest to a lesser charge of being an accessory and was sentenced to three years in state prison in March 2018. The other man was eventually convicted of voluntary manslaughter and attempted robbery and was sentenced to 21 years in prison.

Authorities said that with credit for time served Allen was soon released after his no contest plea and sentencing.

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office said on July 3, 2018, Allen and three other men were arrested after a Garberville area resident reported he was the victim of attempted armed robbery by some men who fled in a van. The van was later located and Allen and the three other men were found asleep inside, deputies said. Inside the van deputies found two loaded guns and some burglary tools. Allen and the others were arrested for attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime and Allen was released on $50,000 bail, sheriff’s public information officer Samantha Karges said Monday.

Allen and the other three men were eventually charged with two felony counts of attempting to commit first degree residential robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime — the attempted residential robbery with an enhancement allegation that they were armed with firearms. According to the Humboldt County criminal complaint, Allen and the other suspects “leased a van, purchased and brought robbery supplies/tools and cased property.” The status of the other men was not immediately available and it was not known if Allen’s bail was subsequently lowered..

Anyone with information about Allen is asked to call Oakland police traffic investigators at 510-777-8540 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.
