OAKLAND — Police have identified the 25-year-old mother of four who died four days after being shot in her sleep from outside her apartment.
Daleshia Byrd, of Oakland, was shot at 1:19 a.m. on Sept. 18 as she slept inside her home on the 1500 block of 92nd Avenue. She died at Highland Hospital four days later, police said.
Police say the shots came from outside the apartment and that more than a dozen rounds were fired in what appeared to be a targeted shooting. Several children and at least one other adult were also inside the home.
Police have not announced any arrests, revealed suspect information, nor said if they’ve pinpointed the suspected motive.
Authorities said the shooting is not connected to a fatal shooting days earlier in the Laurel district where a 42-year-old mother of two died after she was hit by a stray bullet fired from a block away, as she lay on a couch inside her home.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the shooter in the 92nd Avenue case. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3426 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.
