Tadao Henning, a 34-year-old Oakland resident, was killed in a shooting near the Fox Theater in Oakland’s Uptown neighborhood on July 13, 2022. The shooting happened in the early hours shortly after Henning had celebrated his birthday. Henning was one of three people struck; two women in their twenties from San Leandro and Tracy were injured and taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

Oakland police were alerted by ShotSpotter and multiple 911 calls and found Henning and the two injured women at the scene. Paramedics pronounced Henning dead there. Police have not released a motive, though the shooting was suggested to be tied to a private event Henning was attending; Mayor Libby Schaaf called it a senseless tragedy rooted in an interpersonal conflict. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active.
