Original Release (Jan 13):
BART Police Ask for Public’s Help Identifying Shooting Suspect
BART Police released four surveillance photos (attached) today of the suspect in the fatal shooting that occurred Saturday night on board a train at the West Oakland Station. At a press conference, Chief Kenton Rainey said he was releasing the photos after working with other law enforcement partners to help identify the suspect and is now asking for the public’s assistance. The four photos taken by BART’s security system show an adult male, matching the description provided by eyewitnesses, leaving the West Oakland Station right after the shooting occurred.
Anyone with information about the suspect or the shooting is asked to call BART Police’s anonymous tip line at 510-464-7011 or one of the detectives in charge of the case at 510-464-7040- ask for Detective Sanchez or Sergeant Power.
The male victim has yet to be identified because he had no identifying information. The victim is likely between the ages of 19-25, possibly Latino with black hair. Chief Rainey said it is still unknown the relationship, if any, between the victim and the suspect. Chief Rainey confirmed a knife was recovered at the scene.
All four photos can be found attached to this email. Raw video of the press conference can be found on our YouTube page.

not same guy look at haircut hair and no hair.
It’s the same guy. One is a closer shot. Both photos show hair.
We don’t think it is the same guy. He just plain looks like a different guy completely. Forget the hair.
You’re entitled to your opinion, but if you can’t tell it’s the same guy, you’re not very bright.
Not sure if it’s the lighting or what but two different complections n the jackets r different colors….different hair…one is a fade n the other is bald…
I thought it was two different guys too. BART video is not very good quality. Shame, Shame, Shame! BART should have wireless HD cameras with audio. No excuse after 9/11 not to but BART still is living in the ’70’s with their new outdated platform signs.
You must have lots of money for increased BART fees. Shame, shame, shame.
Even if you don’t think they look the same (which they do…just poor video), how many guys are at BART with the same green jacket (very uncommon jacket) and same black strap over their jacket at the same time? Wise up!
