While I’ve never felt unsafe at a taco truck, I’m sure bad stuff does happen occasionally. Plus, I think that this has more to do with the fact that this was in East Oakland, and not that it was at a truck.

Still, it’s really sad, and I contributed $10 to the guy’s donation fund.

The San Francisco Chronicle:

(01-24) 09:02 PST OAKLAND — A Richmond father of four died early Wednesday, a day after being shot during an attempted robbery as he bought lunch at a taco truck in Oakland, police said. Abel Martinez Mejia, 41, was shot shortly before noon Tuesday at a taco truck parked at the corner of 85th Avenue and San Leandro Street in East Oakland. He died at Highland Hospital in Oakland.

Mejia was buying lunch when four men confronted him, police said. One man had a gun and shot him after demanding money, authorities said.
