OAKLAND, CA— Today, Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price announced that Shane Parrish Killian (54) was charged with multiple felonies for allegedly fatally shooting four of his family members and wounding a fifth relative.
The defendant, Killian, is charged with four counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, corporal injury to a relationship partner, elder or dependent adult abuse, infliction of injury, possession of an assault weapon, and possession of an unconventional pistol.
The complaint alleges that on or about July 10, 2024, the defendant intentionally discharged a firearm that caused the deaths of three adults and one child and the wounding of another child.
“This is an unimaginable act of violence that leaves us all heartbroken for this family and for community members traumatized by this in the City of Alameda,” said DA Pamela Price. “Domestic violence is an insidious problem in our society, which is exacerbated with deadly consequences when there are guns in the home. My office stands ready to seek justice on behalf of the victims and their loved ones.”
If convicted and sentenced of all charges, Shane Parrish Killian could face more than 100 years in prison.
