Video shows moments before deadly Oakland shooting of delivery worker
KTVU has obtained surveillance video of the moments before a delivery worker was shot and killed in Oakland. The shooting in the Uptown area happened Wednesday evening. Neighbors say what ended in a shooting started as a verbal exchange between two people over a dog. Apparently the delivery worker complimented the shooter's dog.
Surveillance video and images showed that Gaidos, who was delivering flowers to an apartment building, got into a confrontation with a man walking two dogs. That confrontation escalated, resulting in the fatal shooting of Gaidos. Authorities have identified the suspected shooter as Elvira. Gaidos, originally from Brazil, came the U.S. five years ago, his parents said. He left his home country because he was fearful of the street violence in Brazil. Gaidos had lived in the Bay Area for three years, working as a delivery driver.
