I’m getting a lot of questions on what the community can do to help.

Many children and friends of seniors tell me they are terrified to go out in public now.

I’m talking to a young man who is starting a grocery escorting program in the city. Will share more shortly.
This is Jacob Azevedo. He is organizing volunteers to help him accompany seniors & anybody in Chinatown who feels unsafe—while running errands.

He’s working with the Chinatown Chamber to connect with businesses.

To volunteer you can email him at CompassionInOakland@gmail.com
I just learned the victim in this video I s a 91-year old man and that the suspect also attacked a 60-year old man and 55-year old woman the same day.

This suspect photo is from Oakland Police who are asking
anyone with info to call 510-238-3426
Jacob has also started a @gofundme to help provide personal alarms to neighbors in Chinatown. bit.ly/2Msop3L

“We were excited to start our new life here.”

Hannah Ege’s story broke my heart. Her husband Sheria Musyoka was killed in a car crash along Lake Merced.

She aaid they moved f/CT less than 2 weeks ago. SF was their California dream...turned nightmare.

Police say Jerry Lyons (pictured here) was driving a stolen car, on drugs when he hit and killed Sheria, who was out for a jog.

Hannah went searching for Sheria when he didn’t come home.

When she got to the lake she said “I just hyperventilated.” Image
Sheria’s mentor says he was brilliant. A Dartmouth grad, top 3% in his class. Speaks 5 languages and wanted to teach their 3-year old son Theo Swahli.

He had bid dreams of one day buying a house in Kenya to be with his family there part of the year. Image
