Leemo Tagaleoo, 35, was shot and killed on October 18, 2020, on the 9900 block of MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland shortly before 1 a.m. Court records identify Jacobia Perkins, 34, as the primary suspect; multiple witnesses described Perkins as the shooter. Surveillance footage did not capture the shot but shows Perkins fleeing after multiple rounds were fired. Witness testimony said Perkins and Tagaleoo went into a bedroom together and that Tagaleoo was fatally shot while they were alone in the room.

Perkins was arrested in November 2020 in San Francisco in possession of Tagaleoo’s phone, released, and later re-arrested on a March 2021 murder warrant. Prosecutors charged him with murder, gun possession and alleged he personally shot Tagaleoo. An anonymous tip mentioned an argument about alleged infidelity, a detail investigators could not verify. If anyone knew Leemo or has information about that night, please share what you remember.
