So now the flash mobs aren’t just looting stores, they are literally killing people. A flash mob killed Oakland security guard Kevin Nishita after being shot in an attempted armed robbery while on assignment protecting a KRON4 crew, during a flash mob riot. Maybe, this is a part of that Asian hate we heard so much about when that goofy guy in Georgia shot a few Asian-American people at a Georgia massage parlor earlier this year.
The security guard died from his injuries Saturday morning after being shot in an attempted armed robbery while on assignment protecting a KRON4 crew.
The victim is Kevin Nishita. He leaves behind a wife, two children and three grandchildren. Nishita worked as an armed guard for Star Protection Agency.
Prior to working as a guard, he served as a police officer at the Oakland Housing Authority, Hayward Police, San Jose Police, and the Colma Police departments.
A reward of $32,500 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.
The KRON4 crew was covering a story on Wednesday about a recent robbery where 12 thieves wearing masks and hoods raided a clothing store on the 300 block of 14th Street.
At 12:20 p.m. Wednesday, an assailant attempted to steal KRON4’s camera equipment, according to police.
The armed guard was shot in the lower abdomen. The reporter was not physically injured.
The guard was rushed to Highland Hospital Wednesday afternoon in critical condition before undergoing surgery.
