Ethan Pereira, 20, was killed in a shooting at an unsanctioned drag racing event in Oakland’s Eastlake neighborhood on January 26, 2025. Ethan, who had emigrated from Goa with his family more than a decade earlier, was a spectator when a car doing donuts reportedly struck a spectator and gunfire broke out. Multiple victims were taken to hospitals; Ethan later died of his injuries.

Authorities arrested a juvenile suspect and a co-defendant, Leonardo Perez Baltazar, on February 5, 2025. Law enforcement recovered one rifle and three pistols at the time of the arrests, and the Alameda County District Attorney charged both individuals in connection with the homicide and with firearms offenses.

Ethan’s funeral was held at St. Cyprian Church in California and he was buried at Santa Clara Mission Cemetery. His parents Anunsya and Celio, sister Ember, and extended family remembered him as an altar server who wrestled for his school and as a kind-hearted presence in the Goan community.
