Oakland Man Shot Dead While Pushing Child In Stroller

OAKLAND (AP) — Police are investigating why someone shot and killed a man as he pushed his son in a toy stroller outside an east Oakland housing project.

Authorities identified the man Thursday as 24-year-old Tyrell Smith.

Police say the gunman drove up in a car, got out and shot Smith in the head without warning Wednesday afternoon at the Lockwood Gardens complex. The 1-year-old boy was not injured.

The gunman fled in the car, as a resident grabbed the child and took him to safety.

Sgt. Randy Wingate told the Oakland Tribune that the killing is one of the most "cold-blooded" attacks he's ever seen. Police have no motive and no suspects in custody.

Police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
