Target in fatal North Oakland shooting had been named in gang injunction - Inside Bay Area

Target in fatal North Oakland shooting had been named in gang injunction - Inside Bay Area: "Gang members aren't just dangerous because they are violent, they're dangerous because they attract violence, proponents of Oakland gang injunctions argue. If those gang members are subject to curfew, they would be kept off certain streets where they may act as 'bullet magnets,' drawing gunfire by luring their enemies.
That theory was in play in an Oct. 15 shooting in the 5200 block of West Street, near Children's Hospital Oakland. Multiple shooters in passing vehicles fired on three men standing together, striking all three, one of whom died of his wounds Monday, and killing an uninvolved woman who happened to be nearby, officials said.
One of the three targeted men was Eric Tullis, 20, who was among 15 men declared gang members in civil court in June, police said. Tullis had successfully evaded being served with his injunction, Oakland City Attorney John Russo said.
Tullis was treated for his injuries at a nearby hospital and released after the shooting. Later, he was arrested in Hayward, in possession of an illegal firearm, stolen property and $3,000 in cash, Russo said, and remained in jail Wednesday on $55,000 bail. He has now been served with his injunction and is therefore subject to curfew if he is released."
