Police ID father of two killed outside Oakland fast food restaurant
A 28-year-old man was shot and killed, and the woman he was with was injured, in the Jan. 21 shooting in Oakland.
OAKLAND — Police have identified a 28-year-old man who was killed outside a fast food restaurant in a shooting that also wounded his female companion.
Kenyetta Chapman, of Brentwood, was fatally shot at around 8:30 a.m. Jan. 21, inside a parked car on the 2400 block of East 24th Street in Oakland. A 19-year-old woman was also hospitalized with at least one gunshot wound, but survived, police said.
Authorities say Chapman and the woman were sleeping in a vehicle when another car pulled up and at least one gunman opened fire. Police have not announced any arrests nor said if they’ve pinpointed a motive.
Chapman’s funeral was held in February at a Richmond church. His eulogy describes him as an ambitious family man known for his “sweetness, intelligence, caring nature, and striking handsomeness,” who worked two jobs to support his family, including two sons.
