How you can help and stay informed
Oakland Police are asking anyone with information—especially those who might have taken photos or video near Foothill Boulevard or 64th Avenue—to speak up. Maybe you live in San Anselmo, Novato, or Mill Valley and happened to be nearby, or maybe you drove those streets after the shooting.

Or, you could share what you know with local reporters or through official Oakland Police channels. It helps keep everyone aware while investigators try to piece together what really happened.
Marin County readers: lessons and safety in our communities
Even though this happened in Oakland, the ripple effects touch Marin County towns from San Rafael and Novato down to Larkspur and Corte Madera.
Many Marin residents commute across the Bay for work, school, or weekend activities. Staying safe and informed really matters—probably more than most folks realize.
Here are some practical takeaways for anyone living across the north and central Marin Peninsula—from Fairfax up to Marin City and beyond.
- Stay aware when traveling at night along routes people usually take to Oakland and San Francisco. That means Highway 101, Highway 580 across the green hills, and those busy arterial streets connecting Marin to the East Bay.
- Follow official alerts and local news for updates on crime activity that could affect cross-county commutes. This is especially true if you regularly head southbound or across the Bay from San Anselmo or Mill Valley.
- Report suspicious activity to local authorities or through established channels. Your tip might actually help detectives in Oakland and could prevent similar incidents in Marin towns like Ross or Fairfax.
- Discuss safety with neighbors at community associations in Sausalito, Corte Madera, and Novato. It’s worth reinforcing neighborhood watch habits and making sure everyone knows how to reach emergency services quickly.
The Oakland Police investigation is still underway. We’ll keep an eye on updates and share anything Marin County readers should know.
