Oakland political operative attacked twice in recent months, including at address raided by FBI last week

OAKLAND — A longtime Oakland political operative was attacked in two separate incidents in May and June, including once at an address that was raided last week by the FBI as part of a sprawling probe that has ensnared Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao.

Mario Juarez was met with gunfire on June 9 at his house on the 1800 block of Fruitvale Avenue, authorities said. A person who reported the shooting to police said she heard four shots and saw a man armed with a gun who fled after the attack, according to dispatch recordings.
