Two People Found Shot Dead on Panoramic Way Near UC Berkeley

Oakland police recovered a firearm and are leading an active investigation that has not ruled out homicide‑suicide.

Overview

  • Officers responded to reports of gunfire at a home on the 400 block of Panoramic Way and discovered a 63-year-old woman and a 64-year-old man dead outside the residence.
  • Oakland Police recovered a firearm at the scene and have taken charge of the probe while investigators work to determine a motive.
  • Berkeley police initially received the emergency calls because the address lies on the Oakland–Berkeley border, so multiple agencies remain involved in the inquiry.
  • UC Berkeley Police issued a community advisory saying there is no known or ongoing threat to campus as officers continued to investigate in the neighborhood.
  • The normally quiet, upscale block has been cordoned off by police as investigators process the scene and officials warn the inquiry is active and developing.
