Richard McDonald, 24, of Daly City, was killed in a shooting in East Oakland in the pre-dawn hours of April 26, 2024. McDonald and his 26-year-old cousin were in a vehicle in the 1500 block of International Boulevard at about 4:20 a.m. when both were shot. They managed to drive to a hospital; McDonald died of his wounds and his cousin survived after treatment.

Oakland police say the victims did not know the shooter and investigators used video surveillance, witness statements, and electronic data to identify a suspect. On May 8, 2024, authorities arrested 40-year-old Tyejahn L. Parker of San Francisco in Fairfield. Parker was charged on May 10 with murder, attempted murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Court records state Parker had prior convictions and was on federal probation for a 2020 felon-in-possession conviction.
