San Francisco man killed in Oakland drive-by capturing after wake is recognized

OAKLAND — A San Francisco man who was killed in a drive-by shooting on Sept. 8 after attending a funeral service in Oakland was identified by police on Friday as Dominique Miles, 40.

A 22-year-old San Francisco man who was an acquaintance of Miles was also injured in the shooting and is still recovering, according to authorities.

A motive for the shooting could not be determined. There were no arrests.

The shooting happened just before 6 p.m. on September 8 on the 300 block of 27th Street, about half a block west of Broadway.

Miles and the other man had just left a wake in a hall in the area for a person they both knew had died. Miles was in a parked vehicle on the north side of the street and the other man was outside the vehicle.

A vehicle drove by and someone inside began shooting at the men. Miles was wounded multiple times and later died in a hospital. The other man was hit at least once and had to be transported to a hospital himself.

Oakland Police and CID are offering a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the shooter’s arrest. Anyone with information can call the police at 510-238-3821 or 510-238-7950 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.
