A man suspected of killing a popular East Bay nurse during a robbery attempt in Oakland last month is facing murder and other felony charges, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Shacory Carnell Daniels, 39, allegedly shot and killed Lartey Solomon around 2:45 a.m. on May 31 in the 1400 block of Harrison Street, according to law enforcement officials.

Daniels is also facing a special allegation of felony murder because the homicide took place during an alleged attempted robbery, a special allegation of personal and intentional discharge of a firearm, and possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, prosecutors said in a news release.

Santa Rita Rail Jail records show he is also suspected of dissuading a witness, pimping, shooting at an unoccupied vehicle and evading police.

He is being held without bail and is scheduled to enter a plea in Alameda County Superior Court on June 30.

Suspect had prior convictions

Daniels and an alleged accomplice survived being shot by Fremont police in 2018 after allegedly ramming patrol cars during an arrest on suspicion of a string of auto burglaries.

At the time of that arrest, Daniels had prior convictions for pimping and false imprisonment.

Solomon, Daniels’ alleged victim in his most recent case, was a registered nurse who earned his degree from Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, according to a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for his young daughter and his father, as well as funeral expenses.

An immigrant from Ghana, the 33-year-old Solomon worked for the Alameda Healthcare and Wellness Center in Alameda and Kindred Hospital in San Leandro before his death and was popular on social media, where he dispensed advice under the moniker “Nurse Solomon.”

“The loss of Lartey has left an unimaginable void in our hearts,” according to the GoFundMe post. “A daughter has lost her father, parents have lost their son, siblings have lost their brother, and countless others have lost a trusted Health Educator, Caregiver, Mentor, and Friend.”

As of Tuesday evening, the webpage had raised nearly $4,300 of its $20,000 goal.
