Byron Robinson, 31, was killed in a drive-by shooting in East Oakland on November 6, 2021. Around 5:37 p.m. someone in another vehicle fired into Robinson’s car as he drove in the 7400 block of Weld Street, causing his car to crash into at least one parked vehicle. He was taken to a hospital and died about three hours later.

Initial reports said the motive was unclear and there were no immediate arrests. In February 2022 police arrested 31-year-old Donte Neal of Sacramento and charged him with Robinson’s murder; authorities said surveillance footage and information from Robinson’s relatives linked Neal to the shooting and that two 9mm pistols were recovered at Neal’s home. Neal denied involvement and said he was in Sacramento on the day of the shooting.
