Obataiye Edwards, 19, of Oakland, California, was shot and killed by police on December 20, 2010, after a high-speed chase on Interstate 580. The pursuit began after officers received a tip about a planned gang-related shooting; Edwards was identified as a member of the PT gang, a subset of Ghost Town, which was reported to be in a violent rivalry with the Acorn gang.

Police say the maroon Lincoln carrying Edwards crashed at 13th Avenue and East 33rd Street, its occupants fled on foot, and Edwards allegedly pointed a .380-caliber pistol at officers, who then opened fire. A loaded SKS-style assault rifle was recovered from the vehicle trunk. The officers were placed on administrative leave while the department and the district attorney’s office investigated. Reports state the officers were later found to have acted in self-defense.

The case was cited amid calls for stronger efforts to address gang violence and community intervention to keep young people from joining violent groups. Does anyone have additional details about Edwards, the vehicle, or witnesses to the chase and crash?
