The Oakley Police Department announced the arrest of Sean Karp, 18 of Oakley, in connection with a fatal shooting that killed a 16-year-old and wounded three other teens on October 21.
Back on October 25, police arrested Jason Walizada, 18, Antioch, in connection with the shooting, however, he was released pending further developments in the case.
Here is the Nov 30 Release:
HOMICIDE ARREST MADE IN SHOOTING INVESTIGATION FROM OCTOBER 21, 2023 (400 BLOCK OF SHANNON WAY)
On October 21, 2023 a shooting occurred at a house party in the 400 block of Shannon Way in Oakley. Tragically a 16 year old male died as a result of this shooting and three others (17 year old female, 16 year old male, 15 year old male) sustained gunshot wounds. This case has been the top priority of the detectives of the Oakley Police Department since it occurred with many around the clock investigations occurring and many cancelled days off.
On October 25, 2023 we arrested a person in connection with these crimes. This arrest drew us closer to the facts of what happened during and after the shooting. Our detectives were provided with information from people who were previously disinclined to talk to us and new evidence was revealed to us.
Today, November 30, 2023, at approximately 6:00PM the Oakley Police Department, in partnership with the United States Marshals Service, arrested Sean Karp (18, Oakley) for homicide. The arrest occurred in the 900 block of 2nd St. in the City of Brentwood.
Our detectives have had many positive interactions with the District Attorney’s Office during the lifespan of this investigation and on occasion we have had face to face meetings to discuss details and updates.
“I first want to acknowledge the family of the young man who lost his life in this horrible crime. I know nothing can replace what they have lost and there is a great sense of profoundness in their loss. I, along with all of the members of the Oakley Police Department extend our condolences to the family.
I have said this before about this case, but it bears repeating- this does not belong in Oakley, this does not belong anywhere. Seeing how this did occur in Oakley however, I deeply appreciate the leadership, diligence, work ethic, teamwork and innovation I have seen out of my Investigations Unit from the onset of this case. I also appreciate the partnerships we formed with the United States Marshals Service, the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff and other law enforcement agencies as we left nothing to chance in our pursuit of the person who was responsible for the killing of one person and the maiming of three others.
I have been briefed several times on this case and all available evidence and information supports the arrest that was made tonight.
Stay safe Oakley”
