Surveillance video caught the moment when two hooded individuals approached an Oakland Uber driver's car around 11 a.m. Sunday and demanded he get out, KGO-TV reported.
But when 52-year-old Kon "Patrick" Fung refused to exit his vehicle in the 2000 block of 13th Avenue, one of the suspects shot him dead and ran away from the scene, the station said, adding that police are calling it an attempted robbery.
Fung's girlfriend of five years told KGO about her personal tragedy in the hopes it will lead to solutions to violence plaguing the northern California city and the Bay Area.
"She's afraid to even leave her house, and she can't sleep," an interpreter for Judy — she wanted only her first name used for the story — explained to the station. "The whole incident happened in less than five seconds. In that span, she lost her boyfriend."
She added in Mandarin, "I'm so scared. I don't dare go outside. I just think of him dying," KGO said.
Judy was buying groceries in Oakland's Chinatown the morning of the killing, the station said, adding that her son heard the gunshot and told the rest of the family what happened.
She added that her boyfriend Fung was "a hard worker" and told KGO he even worked on Sundays: "It's because of his job, his hard-working trade, that he got killed.
"Judy's home is near the city's Little Saigon neighborhood, the station said, adding that KGO covered a gathering there last month featuring dozens of business owners concerned about crime there and and in nearby predominately Asian areas.

Oh yes, California is so civilized with their gun control laws.
Take my life, I need my car to work till old age.
If I lived in an urban area, I would be armed at all times. Especially with a job like that.
Knowing idiotfornia,they will ban hooded shirts except for peoples ,who within the last 150 years, have been oppressed, unless they’re Asian ( cause Asians are so successful). Other exception: illegal immigrants who are drug trafficker, sex trafficker gang members.
Looks like more Black on Asian crime.
With meth everywhere I would always be armed. Even in a canoe in the middle of a lake.
"I'm SOMEBODY now!"
I know. Take the damn car…. Life is cheap to these scumbags
If someone has a hoodie up - RUN away!
Black Lives Murder
Clearly white supremacy. *cough*

Where I live (western Washington) armed crime is increasingly common.
Criminals are more and more using guns. It used to be things of nominal value were stolen and the criminal ran out with out any threat to the shop keepers or customers. Now it is done at the end of a pistol with threats to kill any one in the thug’s way.
And yet our government wants to further empower the criminals and take legal arms away from law abiding citizens.
Damn. Just damn. And the hooded individuals? No mention of race but they killed a hardworking Asian...
if he saw them approaching he should have punched it and taken off. Maybe he didn’t even see them walking up on him.
How is anyone able to use these low resolution videos to ID the perps? There should be some decent videos from another surveillance camera to give the public a better chance at IDing these savages.
Agreed. I feel strange now when I am not carrying a weapon.
