Robert M. Fisher, a 33-year-old white man from San Francisco, was killed in a drive-by shooting on Bancroft Avenue in East Oakland on January 27, 1999. Fisher was one of three men targeted in that attack and the only person who died. The assailant in the string of shootings was identified as Mervin Ray Hughes, who had a prior 1986 involuntary manslaughter conviction in the shooting death of Jesse Clarence Dunlap.

Hughes’s January 1999 shooting spree in East Oakland also claimed the life of 20-year-old Terry Love of Oakland and injured other victims. Hughes was arrested on January 30, 1999, and charged with multiple offenses, including two counts of murder; he pleaded not guilty at his trial.
