Overview
- The married co‑founders were discovered with gunshot wounds outside their Panoramic Way home after neighbors heard gunfire on Friday morning and both were pronounced dead at the scene.
- Oakland police recovered one firearm at the property, said investigators have not ruled out a possible murder‑suicide, and urged anyone with photos or video to contact homicide detectives.
- Local TV reviewed surveillance audio that reportedly captured a first gunshot, a man crying and screaming, a second shot and then silence, though police have not released or publicly confirmed the footage.
- Family members have told reporters the husband suffered severe financial losses—described by one relative as well over $100 million—and that the family planned to seek institutional care for his mental health, claims that investigators have not independently verified.
- The victims ran Bryn Walker, a Berkeley‑based women’s clothing brand that wholesales nationwide, and the deaths have left neighbors shaken and the company and family facing immediate questions about business continuity and estate matters.
