Video Shows Altercation Before Oakland EZ's Lounge Shooting as Police Identify Two Victims

Investigators are now seeking suspects following identification of the two victims.

Overview

  • Authorities say seven people were shot around 3:30 a.m. Saturday, with 33-year-old teacher Latetia Bobo and 25-year-old Markise Martin killed and five others wounded.
  • Police reported detaining multiple individuals at the scene, recovering several firearms, and continuing to search for suspects with no arrests announced.
  • Newly surfaced surveillance and social media video appears to show a shove inside the club just before gunfire erupted, though police have not confirmed who is depicted.
  • KTVU, citing sources, reports the shooting followed a dispute between Martin and another man that escalated into an exchange of gunfire, with bystanders struck.
  • Bobo taught eighth-grade English at Caliber Beta Academy, which canceled classes to support students as the community held vigils and called for answers about late-night public safety.
