In a tragic incident on May 28, 2025, East Oakland couple Nina Woodruff and Marvin Boomer were struck by a car during a walk, resulting in Boomers instant death and Woodruffs severe injuries. The crash was allegedly caused by a high-speed police pursuit, ignoring safety policies, and a long-neglected sinkhole on East Twenty-first Street. Woodruff claims police mishandled her situation, while attorney Michelle Bernard is preparing lawsuits against Oakland PD and CHP for negligence and road failures, seeking millions in damages. The driver, Eric Hernandez Garcia, is in jail, with his lawyer pushing for release due to mental health issues. This incident underscores the devastating consequences of police pursuits and neglected infrastructure in the neighborhood.
