On Tuesday night, a 15-year-old boy was fatally shot in Oakland near the Coliseum. Hadari Askari "was shot about 8:08 p.m. in the 6700 block of Leona Creek Drive in the parking lot area of the complex after getting into a confrontation with someone."

This brings Oakland homicide total to 62 for 2012. Last night's killing was actually the second to occur in one day, with a 20-year-old also fatally shot just before noon near the Seminary Avenue off-ramp of 580. And it follows on the heels of a particularly violent week, including someone who open-fired on a crowd outside the Regal Jack London Cinemas, just a block away from Jack London Square on Sunday.

Police have offered $10,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for Askari's death. Information can be directed to OPD at 510-238-3821 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.
