Good morning, Oakland.

Community members marched along International Boulevard on March 21 to honor 15-year-old Derbing Jose Alvarado Gonzalez who was fatally shot during an armed robbery for his Sprayground backpack near 100th Avenue (local leaders including the interim mayor and police were present as a 16-year-old was arrested on suspicion of murder).

Before dawn on Friday, surveillance video showed burglars backing a Lexus SUV into a Shell gas station in Oakland's Rockridge District—ramming the building repeatedly and stealing a safe with cash.

San Leandro police investigated racist graffiti spray-painted on Washington Elementary School’s marquee and nearby areas on Friday, with city officials condemning the act as an attack on community unity — authorities have not decided if hate crime charges will be filed or if the school will reopen on Monday.

The Golden State Warriors improved play without Stephen Curry after adding Jimmy Butler, who helped create an 8.9-point advantage in 19 games and boosted free throw production and defense.

Coach Steve Kerr said Butler played a key role in a recent 104-93 win—raising hopes for the team’s playoff push as Curry remains injured.
