Overview
- Cedric Irving Jr., 27, did not enter a plea Tuesday; a new arraignment date was set for Dec. 16 as he remains jailed at Santa Rita without bail.
- A probable cause filing says Irving acknowledged using a handgun recovered at his arrest, and officials said the firearm was registered to him.
- Oakland police have described the attack as a very targeted incident, and no official motive has been released by authorities.
- The San Francisco Chronicle reports, citing an unnamed source, that Irving enrolled at Laney in 2022 and took at least one course taught by Beam, and separate reporting cites sources who say he mentioned 'witchcraft,' which the public defender says raises mental-health questions.
- Alameda County’s district attorney reinstated mandatory minimums in gun cases after the campus shootings, and prosecutors say Irving has no prior criminal record.
