On the evening of April 18, 2026, 31-year-old Derrick Hubbard was fatally shot around 8:15 p.m. in the 6400 block of Foothill Boulevard in East Oakland while standing with friends. Two individuals, identified as 19-year-old Davione Sharp and 24-year-old Isaanae Morton, approached the group; Sharp allegedly opened fire, striking Hubbard multiple times. Hubbard died at the scene. He was a father of two daughters and was participating in a re-entry program.

That shooting set off a second fatality the same night. Associates of Hubbard pursued Sharp and Morton, and in the subsequent confrontation Morton was shot and killed while Sharp escaped; a third person was wounded but survived. Investigators say the motive grew out of a dispute earlier at an Oakland First Fridays event, and they believe Sharp sought out Hubbard with intent to kill him. Davione Sharp and Reginald Jackson were charged with murder, and Michael Baxter was charged as an accessory after the fact.

Does anyone have information about the earlier dispute at First Fridays or about Hubbard’s movements that evening?
