Deandre S. Irvin, 43, was fatally shot in the tiny home community on Peralta Street in West Oakland in the early morning hours of December 3, 2022. He had been living at the fenced site for a few months; about 40 people lived there and the killing deeply affected residents. A fellow resident said Irvin cared for and loved her sister.

Police investigated the shooting and initially arrested a suspect about two weeks later based on surveillance footage and conversations captured from a jail phone. That person was released without charges after the early phase of the inquiry.

Prosecutors later charged a suspect in December 2024 and he was held without bail while insisting on his innocence. If anyone who lived at the Peralta Street community, visited there, or has information about the early-morning hours of December 3, 2022, please come forward. What did you see or hear that night?
