Family of Security Guard Shot in Oakland Speaks Out, Asks Public for Help in Finding Suspect – NBC Bay Area

/in


The family of the private security guard who died after being shot while on assignment in Oakland last week spoke out Friday, asking the public’s help in seeking the person responsible.

“We’ve heard so far that there were people doing video with their cell phones .. and we’d like them,” said wife Virginia Nishita. “I beg you, please come forward.”

Kevin’s wife said she was stunned Kevin was shot in an attempted armed robbery of a news crew in downtown Oakland on Nov. 24 and died days later. But not surprised her husband put himself in jeopardy for the sake of others.

“That was his personality, to be that protector, to be that brave one,” she said. “He just wanted to protect people. Not just his family but others as well.”

Still the senseless nature of the crime has left the family heartbroken and demanding answers.

“We just need the closure. We don’t like this open, not knowing how someone we loved passed away. We just need to know and have peace,” and said Kevin’s daughter Maureen Campos.

Kevin was employed by Star Protection Agency California and working with a KRON4 reporter at the time of the shooting.

“He didn’t deserve this. He was retired,” said Kevin’s son Enrique Nishita. “He just looking to stay busy, we just wish he could come home.”

The family says it is still working on memorial services and they take some satisfaction in hearing Oakland is now taking action including a plan to hire more police officers.

“This is justice for Kevin. He was a security guard, and he was out there to protect the newscast … and we need justice for him,” said Virginia.

A reward of $32,500 is being offered to anyone with information that may lead to an arrest.

A student and a security guard were seriously wounded in a shooting Tuesday afternoon outside a high school in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

The 14-year-old girl and the 46-year-old guard were shot around 3:20 p.m. outside Wendell Phillips Academy High School, 244 E. Pershing Road, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.

The child was shot three times in the abdomen and taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, according to Chicago police spokesman Michelle Tannehill. She was listed in good condition.

The guard, shot in the arm, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, she said. Langford said he was listed in serious condition.

In September, two 15-year-old students from Simeon Career Academy were shot and killed on the same day in separate attacks.

“It’s ridiculous, you know the kids have to go to school, it’s just very unsafe now because we don’t know if the kids are gonna be safe going to school or picking up after school,” said an employee of Chicago’s Home of Chicken and Waffles restaurant, around the corner from Phillips.

The employee, who did not want to be named, said they heard about four or five shots, then saw police cars flood the area.

“I just wish our city would be safer, I just wish it was more safety,” she said. “Our kids have to grow up here, our kids have to go to school here, we have a restaurant to run here. I just pray for our safety.”
