Four people were killed in a four-alarm fire which broke out at an
Oakland apartment building in 2551 San Pablo Ave, Oakland on Monday,
March 27th. Four others were taken to the hospital for treatment,
including two children.
One of the victims has been
identified as a 36-year-old Nigerian man, who stayed in Room 223. The
coroner said his name is not being released until the victim's family is
notified.
According to neighbours, he kept to himself, loved computers
and would sketch Oakland landscapes with a set of colored pencils.
