Markise Kise Martin, 25, was killed in a mass shooting inside EZ’s Lounge, a downtown Oakland nightclub on 14th Street near Broadway, on March 7, 2026. The incident also left 33-year-old Latetia Bobo dead and five others wounded. Martin, a Stockton resident and father to a one-year-old daughter, was taken to a hospital and died about 11:30 a.m.

Police say a heated confrontation inside the club escalated into gunfire. Investigators report that surveillance footage showed Martin on the ground before he allegedly fired an AR-15-style rifle into the crowd. Multiple people were detained at the scene and several firearms were recovered; authorities have described those detained as persons of interest but have not announced arrests or charges in connection with Martin’s death. The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office was reportedly reviewing whether the other gunman could face charges related to Bobo’s death.

Family remembered Martin as a loving son, devoted father, and protective brother; his brother started a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs and support the child. Was anyone in the area that night able to see or share footage of what happened inside the club?
