Oakland Man Shot While Helping Homeless Dies

Paris Powell, the Oakland man shot just after midnight on Tuesday while trying to deliver a fish dinner to a homeless man with whom he'd formed a relationship, died late last night. He was removed from life support at around 11 p.m. Wednesday at Highland Hospital in Oakland.

Powell was shot in the head on the 1000 block of 47th Avenue. His pregnant wife and two daughters, ages 3 and 7, were with him at the time of the shooting. One of the bullets "struck Powell's 3-year-old stepdaughter in the arm and grazed his wife's shoulder."

No arrests have been made. A motive for the shooting is not yet known.
