David Sakurai was a 64-year-old carpenter for the Oakland Unified School District who was shot on September 28, 2022, during a midday attack at the King Estates school campus. Two assailants entered the grounds and fired more than 30 rounds, targeting specific individuals and injuring six people. Sakurai was critically wounded and died in hospital nearly two months later.

Colleagues and students remembered Sakurai as kind and helpful; he had worked for the district for 18 years. The Oakland Police Department released surveillance footage showing two people running toward the school entrance armed with firearms, but no arrests have been announced and the suspects’ identities remain unknown. The district has been offering counseling to those affected.

Does anyone have information about that day or recognize the people in the surveillance footage?
