A juvenile suspect was arrested in the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Derbing Alvarado, police said Friday. The shooting happened on March 17 just after 4:15 p.m. on the 1400 block of 100th Avenue in East Oakland. Oakland police said officers who responded to the shooting found a shooting victim whose family later identified him on a GoFundMe web page as Alvarado. He was taken to a hospital where he died of his injuries. On Friday, the Police Department said in a press release that a teen suspect was arrested Thursday. "Through the dedicated and collaborative efforts of OPD Homicide Investigators, officers from Special Resource Section East, and Patrol, the 16-year-old was safely taken into custody on March 20, 2025," the release said.
