In Nov. of 2021, Jasper Wu was the victim of a rolling gun battle along Interstate 880 in Oakland, as a stray bullet sliced through the front windshield, hitting him in the head and killing him instantly.
On Thursday, Alameda County District Attorney Office, along with the California Highway Patrol announced three arrests were made in the case.
The Alameda County Sheriff’s Department only released one mug shot of one of the suspects.
Xiao said that she wants to see more cameras on Bay Area freeways.
“It's not only about catching the bad guys. She doesn't want other families to go through what they have been going through,” Chan said.
Caltrans said that it recently upgraded the cameras at eight locations in the East Bay and up to 100 additional cameras will be upgraded and installed by late Spring in 2023.
As for the three suspects, Johnny Jackson was in a courtroom Friday. His arraignment was set for another day. While the two other suspects are in a Contra Costa County jail on unrelated charges.
