OAKLAND (KPIX) — In Oakland’s Chinatown, people are living in fear as robberies and assaults have increased over the past few months. On Saturday, a brazen daytime shooting was captured on surveillance video.

The robbery began when a pair of men hopped out of a car to grab the purses of two women on the sidewalk. Two young men intervened and began struggling with the attackers. That’s when the guns came out. Two shots were fired and one young man fell to the ground as the struggle continued. Finally both assailants — who both held handguns — jumped back into their car and drove off.
