A stray bullet killed a young woman as she was driving in Oakland on Saturday morning and a father of two has been charged with the slaying, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.
Oakland resident Bernard Jimmerson, 39, allegedly was firing an assault rifle at passing cars because he was upset about the noise of vehicles racing down his street at night, prosecutors said. Jimmerson allegedly fired and hit 21-year-old Marie Bedford in the head.Police responded at 2:20 a.m. Saturday to the 9000 block of MacArthur Boulevard following three alerts by the city's ShotSpotter gunshot detection system. When officers got there, they found the wounded Bedford. She died there.
"Her murder is heartbreaking and absolutely unacceptable," Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price said in a statement Wednesday. Prosecutors have charged Jimmerson with second-degree murder, shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, possession of an assault rifle, possession of a gun and ammunition by a felon and a gun enhancement.
