The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating an officer-involved shooting (OIS) that occurred just after 4:00 p.m. on February 24, 2025, in the 900 block of 92nd Avenue. OPD officers initially responded to calls from residents stating a man was pointing a firearm at community members in the area.
Once on the scene, responding officers located the armed individual. Officers attempted to detain the suspect, who pointed the firearm at officers. Shots were fired, and the suspect ran. Officers located the suspect at a second location where additional shots were fired. Officers were able to safely take the suspect into custody, who was transported to an area hospital with minor injuries.
In accordance with OPD policy, the officers involved in the incident have been placed on paid administrative leave.
Consistent with OPD policy, the OIS is being criminally and administratively investigated by the Oakland Police Department. The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and the Community Police Review Agency (CPRA) are conducting independent investigations.
The Oakland Police Department remains committed to transparency. However, to ensure the integrity of the investigation, the release of information must be limited at this time. Additional details will be shared as soon as the investigative process allows and in compliance with the law.

OPD would like to remind our community to only call 911 for life-threatening emergencies that pose a risk to life, health, property, or public safety. Examples include fires, medical crises, accidents with injuries, and crimes in progress.
For non-life-threatening issues, please use the following non-emergency numbers: OPD: (510) 777-3333 and Public Maintenance: 311 or (510) 615-5566. This helps keep 911 lines open for genuine emergencies and reduces response times for critical situations.
