Family of Oakland toddler killed by stray bullet decries DA's plan to not pursue jailtime for suspects

The family of Jasper Wu, an Oakland toddler who was killed by a stray bullet, have voiced concern over Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price’s plans to not pursue jail time for the suspects.

Wu was driving home to Fremont, California, with his family on Nov. 6, 2021, when a stray bullet pierced their car on Interstate 880. The bullet passed through their front windshield and hit the ​​23-month-old toddler in the forehead.

The bullet came from a rival gang shootout between two vehicles exchanging fire. Trevor Green, 22, Ivory Bivins, 24, and Johnny Jackson, 34, were arrested in December 2022 and charged with murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle and possession of a firearm by a felon.

They are expected to have their preliminary hearing on murder charges by the end of this month.

When a member of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community asked Price for an update on the case, Price responded in an email:

Our office is currently working on a partnership with the Asian Law Caucus to support AAPI victims of violence in ways that open up broader possibilities for healing and non-carceral forms of accountability.

Price revealed that her office is working to pursue “non-carceral” — meaning no jail time, even for criminals — forms of punishment.

The email, which was obtained by ABC7 News, was met with criticism from Wu’s family and Norbert Chu, who previously served as an Alameda County prosecutor for 35 years.

“There are almost no consequences due to no threat of severe punishments waiting,” a spokesperson for the Wu family told ABC 7 News. “How would that restore the public's faith in the justice system? How would the public feel safe?”

Apparently, no matter the shade of the victim, she has the criminals back.

Shouldn’t all the gang bangers be strung up? Why is this so hard to enact?

Blacks and Asians are oil and water. Sorry, Mr. Wu, you're the wrong demographic.

Search me.

They are not even trying with the normal excuses that they use, (underage, first felony, accident) these were of age gang members shooting at each other and everybody else.

They just might as well say, criminals are ok with us.

And from what I can see it is not dependent on the race, age or sex of the victim. It is just criminals are ok, the rest of you are the problem.

You are exactly right. The criminals feed their agenda. It’s you that are the problem. You want to hold on to family values and common sense and rule of law. You will not be a good new global citizen. That’s essentially the larger picture and one we have to keep in the back of our heads.

They care not for crime because they will be their foot soldiers when they need them to be.

I have thought that since the Rittenhouse case.

His fighting back against the four felons who attacked him put a pause on the riots. I was a bit confused for a while because they did not fit in with any of the supposed reasons that were given for the riots. And then I realized it is not about race or color or sex or anything but about criminals against the law abiding. And the legal system is in favor of the criminals.

Make things really violent and normal people will beg for a crack down. And when normal people get cracked by "accident" they will argue that it was really all their fault for not doing what the nice government told them to.

This is going to lead to some where very bad.

It already is leading to bad places.

Not enough people take personal freedom seriously and instead rely on gov to do it, or another entity. They fail to realize that they alone are responsible for not only their own safety and freedom, but of those around them.

“....broader opportunities for healing....”. F that. A significant part of any possible ‘healing’ would be swift and significant punishment of the criminals.

The father would get lots of jail time if he shot one of the perps in the head to avenge his son.

Prompt hanging means no jail time and produces a strong deterrent to further crime...

Asians in Califagifornia voted for this.

Did Asians in California actually vote for this? I never heard how the Asians have voted in the last elections.
