Oakland man charged with attempting to murder suspects in a gang-related killing

OAKLAND — Police here appear to be making headway in shootings that occurred years ago.

In December, prosecutors charged 26-year-old Shaka Fagans with attempted murder for allegedly shooting at two men in 2022. Both victims in that case are uncharged suspects in the 2021 killing of Bert Brigham III, a fatal shooting that Oakland police attributed to a feud between two rival gangs in East Oakland, court records show.

One suspect in Brigham’s killing, 25-year-old Hanif McLeod, was arrested and charged with murder last month.
