I served in the National Guard with David. RIP, broman.

I blame those who think accountability is unfair.

That’s most likely the reason the killer was roaming free or thought he’d get away with it.

As a Trucker I recommend not to honk at vehicles with Blacked out windows driving through the San Francisco / Oakland Bay Area🙏

A young Man that was doing something good with his life, so sad. Prayers to his Family 😢🙏🙏

A chaplain being angry says so much. What a senseless and heart-breaking way to go. Karma will catch up!
Deepest condolences to his loved ones. R.I.P.

God, please bring justice for this man...please...I beg of You. Not bullets, but justice. An arrest, and criminals will only continue such atrocities if they are not dealt with swiftly, and accordingly, and have the book thrown at them, which, by law, for capital murder, is the death penalty.

There have been several murders and shootings on this freeway. Are police looking at the possibility of a serial killer who is targeting the freeway?

[fergman]

And just like whole Asian hate crime epidemic is totally overlooked. law enforcement and city politics and media has become such a joke.

I need more answers. One shot through window of a Prius? I’ll wait for more information. Condolences to the family.

This is very sad story. There several unsolved freeway shooting-perhaps we need to install more cameras on our freeways.

Damm Oakland just can't catch a break. My condolences goes out to the family and Oakland. Chp really need catch these perpetrators.

This is an example of what happens when a society takes on gangsters as role models...If everyone acts like gangsters, you end up with places like Mexico or Sudan where you cant even just go from A to B safely... California needs to bring back the death penalty. And put it on live every night. A law is only as good as the deterrent it represents. If the penalty is nothing or just a few years in jail, people are still willing to do it. If you were guaranteed to die if you killed someone, slot less people would do it.

[kamillewilliamsalexxus]

Its so scary that you can't even drive on the freeway now without shooting, road rage, people that refuse to share the road .R.I.P.🕊 young sir, praying for the families senseless lost 🥺💔
And on another note, I hate people make everything political, as if they don't all lie to get votes, I just want people to do what's right no matter Red/ Blue, Dem's, Republican, liberal & etc .🥺💔😔
