On January 4, 2019, Dante Johnson, 31, was fatally shot in the 1000 block of Center Street near the West Oakland BART station. The attack occurred shortly before 9 p.m.; two other men, Gino Houchins and Marcus Fuller Jr., were also killed. Two victims were inside a parked car and the third was standing outside when the shooting happened.

Authorities later arrested 26-year-old Antonio Durant after a high-speed chase that ended with him crashing into a power pole. Durant, an ex-felon with prior felony convictions and on probation for an assault with a deadly weapon, was charged with three counts of murder, the special circumstance of multiple murders, shooting at an occupied vehicle, and being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm. Surveillance footage and DNA evidence were cited in identifying him; Durant denied involvement but admitted returning to the scene to retrieve discarded clothing.

The motive remains unclear. Did anyone in the area on January 4, 2019, see activity around the 1000 block of Center Street or the West Oakland BART station that might help explain what happened?
