The city of Oakland was in shock as news of a triple-shooting suspect on the run spread like wildfire. Police, determined to bring the perpetrator to justice, immediately began reviewing security footage from a nearby camera. The footage showed the suspect fleeing to a getaway vehicle, making a hasty escape from the scene of the crime.
As the investigation continued, new information came to light that caught the attention of one detective in particular. It seemed that this was no ordinary getaway driver - there was a Lyft sticker proudly displayed on the back of the car. Upon further investigation, it was confirmed that the suspect had indeed called for a Lyft to pick him up from the scene of what could have been a fatal shooting.
Using records from the rideshare company, authorities were able to identify the suspect as 23-year-old Zaire Campbell and obtain an arrest warrant on attempted murder charges. However, Campbell remained at large for weeks until his eventual arrest and booking into Santa Rita Jail on Wednesday. The details of his arrest were not disclosed.
According to court records, Campbell was charged with three counts of attempted murder on August 28th, but he did not enter a plea until his court appearance on October 23rd. Interestingly enough, his wife has also been charged with accessory after the fact for allegedly harboring him after the shooting.
The shooting, which took place near the West Oakland BART station, left three victims hospitalized with serious injuries. One of them was even on the brink of death, having to be intubated in the intensive care unit. Unfortunately, the other two victims were unable to provide any helpful information to the police - one claimed to have no knowledge of who shot him or why, while the other refused to cooperate with investigators.
As this case continues to unfold, the city of Oakland can rest a little easier knowing that the suspect has been apprehended and justice will be served.
