Grieving Oakland seeks solution to violence..

Mourning the gunman
At the apartment building where Mixon was fatally shot by SWAT team officers, a large crowd gathered to pay respects to Mixon, also known as “Vell,” and discuss the circumstances they believe led to his death, things they say they deal with on a regular basis.

Mandingo Hayes said he came out to support Mixon and his family. He called the 26-year-old “a soldier.”

“I know how frustrating it feels to be on parole,” Hayes said of Mixon. “I offer condolences to the families of the officers, but they can’t expect us to feel too much sorrow when eight men were killed by police last year and no one came to our communities to express their sadness.”

Lavette Jones, who lives in the neighborhood, said many people don’t understand what it’s like to live in East Oakland and the amount of violence she deals with.

Made him do it? This guy is the perfect reason for going to 2 strikes and you're out.
