Kaylen Tate, 24, of Oakland was fatally shot on July 22, 2019, while sitting in a car with another man in the 2600 block of 66th Avenue in East Oakland. The shooting happened at about 10:24 a.m.; both men were taken to a local hospital, and Tate died shortly after arrival while the other man survived.

Tate was a father to three children — Kaylen Jr., Kassidy, and Aliyanna — and worked as a contractor for Amazon. His father, Chuck Lounge, said he did not believe Tate was involved in criminal activity and thought Tate was an unintended victim, possibly not the intended target. Authorities arrested a suspect on August 2, 2019, but the name was not immediately released pending a charging decision by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office.

A GoFundMe and a fundraiser by the band Tortilla Soup were held to support Tate’s children. Does anyone have information about Tate, the people he was with that morning, or the events on 66th Avenue that could help fill in gaps in the timeline?
