Eric Bush, age 29, was tragically killed on May 29, 2011, during a shooting incident in East Oakland. The shooting occurred during an illegal car rally, commonly known as a "sideshow," which took place on International Boulevard. Eric, along with another victim, LaToya Kenny, became casualties of this chaotic event. The two did not know each other, and both lost their lives as gunfire erupted during the sideshow.
Authorities reported that the motorcycle clubhouse nearby was closed at the time of the incident, and the motive behind the shooting remains unclear. Despite the presence of many witnesses at the rally, the case remains unsolved, which reflects a broader struggle in Oakland to solve crimes linked to these dangerous gatherings. Eric Bush was remembered by his loved ones, and his funeral services were held by WFG-Fuller Funerals in Hayward, California.
