Black business owners rallying after Pierre Pierre shooting
(KRON) — Black business owners are showing support for Pierre Pierre after a person was shot at the Black-owned fine-dining restaurant in downtown Oakland Friday night. Cathy Adams, the president and CEO of the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce, told KRON4 that she's rallying support for the restaurant following the tragedy. San Jose police seize seven guns in three hours 'If we don't come downtown, if we don't go into all areas of Oakland where there are Black businesses, we're not gonna make it and we can't stay home,' Adams said. 'That means when one of ours is attacked, we've got to come and fight for them.' Chef Rene Johnson of Blackberry Soul Fine Catering in Oakland told KRON4 that the local community won't let Friday night's violence define the Oakland community. 'Oakland has got it going on and we're gonna let that be our claim to fame,' Johnson said. 'We're not going to let what's going on, or people who come in and make a bad decision make it about that. We're going to make it about us. We're going to make it about Oakland.'

Woman shot at downtown Oakland restaurant
Oakland police are investigating a shooting at Pierre Pierre, an upscale steakhouse in the city's downtown core. A woman was taken to a hospital in stable condition after the shooting around 9 p.m. Friday, according to news reports. Shortly before midnight, Pierre Pierre's owner, chef Cleashaun Hill, posted footage on Instagram of the aftermath of the chaotic scene at the restaurant in the Tribune Tower. In the video, police tape can be seen roping off one table as numerous blood spatters mar the wood floor. 'This hurts,' Hill said in the video. 'I genuinely wanted to do something meaningful for us — for our people.' Hill was not immediately available for comment Saturday morning, nor were officials from the Oakland police or fire departments. Hill opened the steakhouse in December 2023 with his business partner, Florida rapper Pierre Delince, or Jackboy. Hill, who goes by 'Chef Cleaz,' is a San Francisco native who trained at Le Cordon Bleu and worked as a private chef and caterer for San Francisco 49ers players and celebrity musicians. On the restaurant's Yelp page, Hill described it 'not just a dining experience,' but a 'being a beacon of Black excellence, where every plate we serve is a testament to the rich heritage of our culture.' 'More than a restaurant, we're a space for community, culture, and fine dining, where every dish tells a story and every visit is a journey into the heart of our tradition,' he said. Hill chose the Tribune Tower on 13th Street because 'it's the most iconic building in Oakland,' he said in a 2023 interview with the San Francisco Business Times. The shooting left him shaken and questioning the restaurant's future. 'We deserve to have something that's ours. But the response I got makes me feel like giving up,' he said in his Instagram post. 'I'm disappointed, because my heart was really in this. RIP Pierre Pierre.'
