Man killed in attempt at robberyI guess as an aspiring rap artist this would would be considered an on the job shooting for Boonie training to be a rapper while robbing a pizza parlor for his next rap song title??
OAKLAND // Pizza shop owner fires on assailant: "Catarino Piedra, 41, kept a gun underneath the counter at the Coliseum Pizza and Taqueria that he owned in East Oakland because his drivers had been robbed many times while making deliveries.
Allen Joseph Hicks III, 22, was an accused batterer on probation for a drug conviction and an aspiring rap artist whom everybody in his neighborhood knew as 'Boonie.'"The lives of the two men intersected tragically at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday when Hicks, armed with a pistol and joined by two other men, tried to rob Piedra inside the popular pizzeria at 89th Avenue and International Boulevard. Fearful that the assailants might hurt him, his wife and three children -- all of whom were inside the restaurant -- Piedra pulled out his 9mm semiautomatic pistol and opened fire, killing Hicks, police said.
In the chaos, Piedra may have accidentally shot and wounded his 17-year-old son, who was not seriously injured, police said.
Piedra acted in self-defense and won't be charged with a crime, Alameda County Assistant District Tom Rogers said Friday.
