Alameda County Charges Two in 2025 Oakland Sideshow Linked to IShowSpeed Visit

Prosecutors cast the case as a push to hold sideshow organizers accountable for dangerous street stunt gatherings.

Overview

  • Alameda County's district attorney filed misdemeanor charges against Axel Cisnerosmentos and Aron Anaya for allegedly organizing and facilitating a sideshow and aiding a speed contest in West Oakland.
  • The charges relate to a Nov. 25, 2025 crowd outside Hyphy Burger on West Grand Avenue during a live visit by YouTube star IShowSpeed.
  • Video from the stream and local reports described fireworks, lowrider cars and cars doing donuts as people ran toward them.
  • IShowSpeed, who is not accused of wrongdoing, voiced concern on the stream and then left the area through dense crowds.
  • Arraignment is set for May 27 at Oakland's Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse, and DA Ursula Jones Dickson said her office will target organizers of illegal street stunt events.
