This 71-year-old Asian Latino man was bitten by a woman & dragged face-down on the pavement for his jade necklace.
He lost 7 teeth & now needs dental implants. He told me “I love Oakland but not anymore.”

I talked to Daniel Wu who told me he and Daniel Dae Kim are offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest of the man who shoved a 91-year old in Oakland’s Chinatown along with 2 other seniors.

There is mounting criticism toward Alameda County DA Pam Price over her messaging the “Chinese community” is “misinformed.”
Esp after she met w/Jasper Wu’s family Tues.
I spoke w/mom who disagrees & says she’s NOT “misinformed” & still fears her family won’t get justice.

Mrs. Fong’s grandson and I have been talking & I showed him this x-ray & explained the decision to share it.
He said in part “...we need to put as much pressure as possible to get this guy prosecuted.”
This photo is part of the pressure.
