Enrique Jacinto Vicente, 20, was fatally shot on June 12, 2022, at the intersection of Seventh Avenue and East 19th Street in East Oakland. The shooting happened in the early morning after Enrique and his younger brother, 19-year-old Roni Jacinto, had been drinking and socializing with friends and became involved in a heated argument. A gun was discharged during the altercation, and Enrique was struck in the chest and died at the scene.

Roni Jacinto was arrested near his home the next day after witnesses identified him as the shooter. He was charged with murder and carrying a loaded firearm in a city. At a preliminary hearing, the defense said the shooting occurred accidentally during a struggle while both brothers were intoxicated, but the judge found sufficient evidence to move forward on the murder charge. The victim’s family described the death as a tragic accident rather than a premeditated act.
