Fairview Street

The Alameda County District Attorney's Office charged a man Friday with stalking and shooting a vehicle in Berkeley.

Berkeley police officers responded to reports of a collision involving an SUV and a pedestrian at the intersection of Sacramento and Fairview streets, according to an email from Berkeley Police Department spokesperson Officer Byron White.

The suspect allegedly responsible for a shooting on Halloween night was charged with three felonies, according to a Nixle alert released by Berkeley Police Department on Tuesday.

Two men were shot in the leg while walking in South Berkeley in separate instances over the past two-and-a-half weeks. The shootings occurred within a few blocks of each other, as first reported by Berkeleyside.

Berkeley Police Department dismantled a South Berkeley homeless encampment early Friday morning, ending in the arrest of a Berkeley City Council candidate, among others.

At Tuesday’s regular Berkeley City Council meeting, the Ad Hoc Committee on Possible Locations for a Sanctioned Encampment presented updates in its findings, inciting exasperation among homeless activists and citizens in the crowd.

After South Berkeley saw a series of shootings in the last week, the Berkeley Police Department has increased patrols in the area to apprehend suspects and respond more quickly to similar incidents moving forward.

A male victim died from gunshot wounds Thursday evening on the 1800 block of Fairview Street in Berkeley, according to Berkeley Police Department Lt. Kevin Schofield.
