UPDATE: News Crew Security Guard Shot in Oakland Dies From Injuries; Photo of Suspect Vehicle Released

Quote:OAKLAND (CBS SF) — Hours after news surfaced that a beloved security guard who was shot while working with a local TV news station covering a recent burglary in downtown Oakland had died, police released a surveillance photo of a suspect vehicle in the shooting.

KPIX learned early Saturday morning that the guard — Kevin Nishita — had died from his injuries. Nishita had worked protecting KPIX news crews in the past.

“It is with the deepest sadness that I let you know security guard Kevin Nishita has passed away,” said Mark Neerman, vice president of news and news director at KPIX. “He died protecting one of our own, a colleague reporting on the very violence that took his life. I know you join me in sending condolences to his family and in sending thanks to Kevin for standing up for us all.”

Nishita was working as a security guard for a KRON television news crew at the time reporting on a recent smash-and-grab robbery at the clothing store Prime 356 that happened Monday night.

Homicide investigators with the Oakland police department released a surveillance photo of a vehicle they believe was used in the attempted robbery that Nishita was fatally shot during.

Police said the suspect vehicle is a white 4-door 2004 – 2008 Acura TL with a sunroof and no front license plate.

He was a former police officer who worked for the Star Protection Agency California, based in Oakland and is survived by his wife, two children, and three grandchildren.

Nishita was a San José police officer from 2001-2012. During his time there, he worked as a gang investigations detective as well as working the gaming/vice unit.

“We are heartbroken and mourning the passing of retired Colma Police Department Sergeant Kevin Nishita. Kevin was part of our San José Police family for eleven years wearing the San José Police patch with great pride,” said San José Police Chief Anthony Mata. “His contagious smile, passion to serve others, and an unmatched work ethic embodied the best of all of us. As a patrol officer, gang detective, and as a person, Kevin modeled bravery, kindness, and dedication helping make San José a better place for everyone.”

A press release issued by the security company noted that Nishita had also worked as a police officer with the Oakland Housing Authority as well as the police departments of San Jose, Hayward and Colma.

“He gained the respect and admiration of his peers and the communities in which he served,” the release read.

The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office also paid tribute to Nishita on social media.

The Colma police department Twitter account also posted a tribute.

KPIX spoke with two eyewitnesses who saw the Wednesday shooting who did not want to appear on camera.

They said an armed robbery crew pulled up on the television crew and ordered the news crew and their guard to get on the ground. According to witnesses, moments later, shots were fired and the guard was hit.

Authorities said the guard was hit in the stomach by the bullet. No other injuries were reported before the shooters fled the scene.

The Oakland police department provided a video update via social media Wednesday afternoon, noting that they had shared the information regarding the incident to local media “to ensure they are aware and can take the appropriate precautions.”

Crime Stoppers of Oakland, and the Oakland police department, are offering a reward leading to the arrest of the individual or individuals involved in the fatal shooting and attempted robbery that has grown to $27,500.

What race were the burglars, or does it matter?

Schiff, it's always the same type of people, ghetto trash. Oh, sorry, poor ghetto trash.

The voters wanted this when they voted for their leaders.

I'm only sorry that a police officer was killed but the city fathers deserve to be sued for implementing those ridiculous laws, which only encourages the riff raff.

Unless and until some people start losing their lives over this it will continue unabated. When there is no consequence to bad action it simply encourages more bad actions. This goes for all kinds of criminal behaviors we are seeing more and more of.

So when is Facebook and Twitter going to shut down accounts used to organize this criminal activity?

They need to give security animal tranquilizer guns and just start popping these idiots as they run.

This is organized crime. Where is the FBI?

The charges should also reflect the group, not the individual. If one person stole a 300 dollar item, but the entire group stole 100k in items, then each individual receives a charge for 100k in items, felonies.

Planning covert operations to "catch" parents "threatening" school board members.

Priorities delegated by B'rer Merrick, you know.

Personally, I hate that former police officers hired by TV crews for safety are now being shot by the violent Smash 'N Grab criminals. Many of the S&G entourage are also Antifa and BLM members, so this could have been an execution.

But simply LOOK WHERE this BS occurs. In the bluest state in the country. It will spread to other blue states and they can TOLERATE IT. They only thing they regret about the shot person is that he wasn't white. But Asians are targeted in many blue cities and states.

Meanwhile I kick back in my truly safe red state and observe the chaos unfold. The Dems wanted ALL OF THIS and now they can reap the whirlwind.

Elections have consequences and STOLEN ELECTIONS HAVE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.

In a world where our criminal justice system wasn't being undermined by marxist elements I would agree.

Dude, you and I live 20 minutes from the most dangerous city in America. But we don't put up with that crap out here in T County and I know the SCSD doesn't put up with anything over where you're at.

The soft on crime libs are solely to blame for ALL OF THIS

It's almost as if they had a plan to achieve these results.

The liberal mindset at its finest.

Black Friday shopping. Can't make it up.
