The city of Oakland saw three people fatally shot over the course of 24 hours during the weekend, with at least two others wounded in separate shootings.
the young man who was shot right before he was hit by a car on 14th Street near Harrison Street in downtown Oakland"The whole Oakland is terrible right now. It'll never be the same," said his friend, who identified himself DJ ButtaSmoove. "All I heard were gunshots, literally on this same block. Came up here and told myself, 'I hope it's not somebody I know.' And it was Pnut," he said with tears streaming down his face.
"He just wanted to be great and rich. He said, 'I got four kids. I need the money,'" ButtaSmoove said."He motivated me to be a great father. Like every time we paid him -- I can't get this out of my head -- he'd always be like, 'Thank you cuz! Diapers and formula. Diapers and formula.'" Ghani said he believes violence has worsened in the area in the last year. It's not uncommon to hear gunshots.
