* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Oakland, California — On July 13, 2026, just after 2:00 p.m., the California Highway Patrol requested assistance from the Oakland Police Department regarding an armed man being aggressive in the area of 40th Avenue and International Boulevard. CHP officers encountered the armed man at an encampment along State Highway 185. He was ordered to drop his weapons, but he did not comply. He threatened the officers and walked away. CHP officers followed him before calling Oakland Police for assistance. Oakland Police Officers responded and located the man, believed to be 44-year-old Jose Angel Castillo. Castillo was wielding two homemade weapons, each a long metal pole with a knife attached. OPD officers arrived and immediately gave Castillo commands to drop the homemade weapons. Castillo did not comply. He again threatened officers while continuing to walk away as additional officers arrived on scene. While wielding the homemade weapons, Castillo walked to the sidewalk where a man and two children were crouching down behind a tree. As officers closed on his position, Castillo moved toward the man and two children before continuing north on 41st Avenue. An OPD officer who was equipped with a taser stopped to ensure the man and two children were safely past the officer. Officers gave Castillo multiple commands to 'Drop The Knives,' followed by warnings that force would be used if he did not comply. Officers then continued following Castillo into a shopping center parking lot. OPD and CHP officers deployed their tasers, but they were not effective. Castillo then began swinging the long metal poles with knives attached as OPD officers discharged their service weapons. Officers immediately provided medical aid to Castillo until paramedics arrived. Despite their efforts, Castillo died at the scene. No other members of the community or officers were injured during this incident. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'Zixuno' - 'HauntSync.com' - 'Rate A Creator with Omar Alkahlout' - 'Forever A Loner' - KHALID - Michael Griffin - John Doe - 'Twitchypowpow' - Lillian Daley - Tyrell Robertson - christine Grinter - 'The Evil Queen' - Benjamin Osgood - Gary Wilson - LJ - Brianna Wilkins - Elisabeth Craig - Bobby Roach - Cody Stephens - Troy Polansky - Tulla Belle - 'quadrakyiro' - "John B.
