Tony Jerome Norman, 67, was shot and killed while walking home from the West Oakland BART station on the evening of August 27, 2025. ShotSpotter activations were recorded on the 700 block of 17th Street and officers secured the area around Marston Campbell Park while collecting surveillance leads and canvassing for witnesses.

Family members described Norman as a longtime hospital security guard, most recently employed by Kaiser Permanente and previously at single-room-occupancy hotels in San Francisco, and said he was an innocent passerby caught in crossfire. Alameda County prosecutors later charged 19-year-old Jeremiah Crawford with Norman’s murder; investigators did not describe additional suspects and the homicide investigation remained active as detectives continued to seek evidence and witnesses to clarify the sequence of events.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, was in the area near 17th and Brush that evening, or has relevant surveillance footage, please share what was seen with investigators.
