Case Summary
Fatally shot 15-year-old Oakland resident Jose Buenrostro around noon and then allegedly planted a gun on him in order to make it appear that he was armed at the time he was shot. The plaintiffs, Buenrostro’s relatives, alleged that the undercover officers shot the boy as he was walking peacefully down the street, then picked up spent shell casings and cleaned the blood from the sidewalk before police technicians could arrive on the scene. OPD officers claimed that Buenrostro aimed a sawed-off rifle at them unprovoked. The shooting occurred within blocks of Acorn Woodland Elementary School, in the 7900 block of Rudsdale St. in East Oakland.

On Saturday April 12, 2K14, at around 1pm, Officer Peterson of the Oakland Police Department drove through an intersection at San Pablo near 17th streets causing a vehicle collision that led to him driving his cruiser head on into a building.

According to witnesses the officer was driving at fast speeds with lights and sirens activated when the accident occurred.

What is unclear is whether a “code three” (lights and sirens) was an appropriate way to be driving through downtown Oakland at that moment in time.

At around 12:45pm there was a non fatal shooting on 16th and Linden in West Oakland as well as an alleged simulated robbery in the downtown area.

By just after 1pm the Linden Street shooting was under control and medical was on site, and officers on Broadway had detained an individual associated to the “simulated robbery” claim, and that they were “code 4″ (which is short for things are ok).

If there was no need to be driving fast, this accident could very well have been avoided. Peterson was transported to the hospital bleeding from his head. Luckily no civilians were injured in this accident.

Note: according to witnesses, the “simulated robbery” was not a robbery but an verbal exchange that stemmed from a dispute where one individual asked for a cigarette from another.
