Hoan Harry Lieu, 51, was shot and killed during a home invasion at his Carrington Street residence in East Oakland on May 22, 2018, about 9:40 p.m. Lieu came from another room to confront the intruders and was shot in front of his wife; the assailants then fled and Lieu died from his wounds.

Lieu worked multiple jobs to support his family, including driving for Uber and Lyft, part-time construction, and setting up sound equipment. The couple had just learned they were expecting a son, Benjamin. Lieu’s brother, Chris Lieu, described him as having given his life protecting his wife and unborn child. The investigation remains open; the intruders have been described only vaguely and it is unclear whether anything was taken from the home.

If anyone in East Oakland that night saw suspicious vehicles or people near Carrington Street around 9:40 p.m., or has information about the intruders, please come forward.
