Police agencies offer condolences for former officer gunned down in Oakland

Kevin Nishita, a private security guard who died Saturday morning after being wounded three days earlier during an attempted robbery on a San Francisco television news crew he was assigned to protect, is being remembered by three Bay Area police departments where he once worked.

Meanwhile, as police in Oakland continue their homicide investigation in the case, a reward fund has grown to more than $32,500 leading to the arrest of the individual or individuals involved. Nishita, who died Saturday morning, is Oakland’s 126th homicide of 2021.
