Taiwan Lamar Moore, 24, was shot and killed on March 26, 2019, in the 1800 block of Church Street in East Oakland after an argument with his then-girlfriend, Lalique Westbrook, who was 18. The pair had been sitting in a parked car when a physical fight ended but a verbal dispute continued; investigators say Westbrook retrieved a loaded gun from the center console and shot Moore multiple times. He died at the scene.

Westbrook fled but was later located and arrested at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Antioch. She admitted to the shooting during police interviews and was charged by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office with murder and a special allegation of personally and intentionally discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury. She was held at Santa Rita Jail without bail and scheduled for arraignment and further hearings. This was reported as Oakland’s 18th homicide in 2019.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting, saw the parked car that night, or has information about the events on Church Street is asked to come forward.
