Three in Custody, Multiple Firearms Recovered in Major OPD Cases

The Oakland Police Department (OPD) has made substantial strides in public safety with the arrest of three suspects involved in a shooting and robbery on Cortereal Avenue. Following a well-coordinated police operation, officers recovered a stolen firearm and an AR-type pistol during a search warrant at a suspect's residence. In a related case, authorities apprehended a suspect connected to the March homicide of William Robinson, leading to the recovery of two additional firearms, including one equipped with a drum magazine. Investigators discovered that one of the suspects arrested for the Cortereal Avenue incident was also linked to Robinson's murder, illustrating the interconnected nature of these crimes. The collaborative efforts of OPD’s Ceasefire initiative and Criminal Investigation Division were crucial in these arrests.

OPD’s commitment to proactive policing highlights its ongoing mission to enhance public safety and community well-being. Through these efforts, the department aims to prevent future violence and ensure a safer environment for residents. The community's safety remains a top priority as OPD continues to respond decisively to criminal activity.
