On August 22, 2022, Brandell Baker, a 30-year-old resident of Richmond, California, was killed in a drive-by shooting at about 4 p.m. at the intersection of 5th Street and Macdonald Avenue. Richmond police say more than 40 rounds were fired; the attack also critically wounded 65-year-old Joey Alcutt, who was airlifted to a trauma center and died a few days later.

Investigators believe the August 22 shooting was retaliatory and linked to a separate fatal shooting on August 16 that killed 32-year-old Antonio Wright. That day also saw another fatal shooting roughly 80 minutes later in the 2400 block of Macdonald Avenue that killed 35-year-old Boonsouk Pilavanh. Detectives Michael Sagan and Brian Hoffman are leading the inquiries, and as of the most recent updates no arrests have been announced.

What details about that afternoon or anyone seen near 5th and Macdonald could help investigators? Please share information with the Richmond police.
