Oakland hit a grim milestone last week as the city passed 100 homicides recorded so far in 2023, according to the latest data from the Oakland Police Department.
Between Oct. 9 and Sunday, six people were killed in Oakland, bringing the year-to-date total to 104. This makes 2023 the fourth consecutive year that the number of homicides in the city shot past 100, the Oakland Police Officers' Association said in a statement Monday. By the same time last year, the city had already recorded 105 homicides. In 2021, there were 110 homicides by mid-October.
Data from Oakland police show robberies are up 35 percent from 2022, carjackings are up 22 percent, motor vehicle theft is up 51 percent, and burglaries are up 36 percent. In the face of these crime figures, the OPOA urged city officials, law enforcement, community leaders and concerned citizens to come together 'to secure our city's safety, well-being, and prosperity.' The union also called on Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao to act on the issue.
