Ponciano Tule Bernal, 48, known as Chano, was fatally shot on December 26, 2024, in Oakland after going out to look for the people who had robbed his 14-year-old son of an electric scooter near 11th Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Bernal located the group, who then followed him back to his home. When he stepped out of his car to confront them, gunfire erupted and he was struck in the heart in front of his son and brother. He was a father of six and a committed soccer fan.

Authorities later arrested a 15-year-old boy and prosecutors filed juvenile charges; the youth’s name has not been released. The Oakland Police Department is asking the public for any videos, photographs, or information that could help the investigation.

If anyone saw the robbery or the shooting, or has footage from the area that night, can you share it with investigators?
