On Monday, a stabbing spree in Oakland left one person dead and four others injured, with a suspect taken into custody after attacks across the city in less than 30 minutes.
The violence began just before 7:30 p.m. at Cesar Chavez Park, where a 58-year-old man died, before the attacker struck four additional victims at separate locations across the city.
Community members directed officers to the 1500 block of 39th Avenue just before 8 p.m., where Oakland Police Chief James Beere said officers took the 34-year-old suspect into custody and recovered a weapon.
Of the four surviving victims, two remain in critical condition and two in stable condition at local hospitals, while the Homicide Section investigates the fatal attack.
Investigators have not established a motive for the attacks, which mark the 36th homicide investigated by Oakland police this year, compared to 44 homicides last year at this time.
