Good morning, Oakland. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 22nd of July.
BUSINESS NEWS

CRIME NEWS
- ➤ Bryan Keith Hall allegedly shot and killed Oakland parole agent Joshua Lemont Byrd on Edgewater Drive on July 17—court documents show he had nearly 30 years of criminal history and 10 prior convictions before being found near 90th Avenue and International Boulevard and held without bail on suspicion of first-degree murder.
