Oakland Police had initially counted another gunshot victim who was shot the same night as part of the melee near Lake Merritt, but that person's injuries stemmed from a double shooting that occurred in the area of 10th Avenue and East 24th Street, a separate case, Chambers said Tuesday. Two people have been arrested in connection to that shooting.
Fourteen people were shot, one suffered an injury not related to a gunshot, and some officers were assaulted after a sideshow broke out into fights and then gunfire during the Juneteenth celebration in the 400 block of Grand Avenue last Wednesday.
