In a tragic incident in Oakland on February 22, 2023, 22-year-old Joshua Hopkins was fatally shot, allegedly by 21-year-old Matthew John, who has been arrested for the crime. The shooting unfolded after an argument between the two men outside an apartment where the victim was said to have been visiting his ex-girlfriend. Disturbingly, Hopkins's 3-month-old son witnessed the shooting. Prior to this incident, John had been involved in a violent jewelry store robbery, establishing a troubling record. He remains in custody without bail while the case proceeds.
