An Alameda County Superior Court judge escaped injury when he was robbed at gunpoint Thursday morning in Oakland, according to the county sheriff’s office.
Three male suspects wearing masks robbed Judge Kevin Murphy around 8:50 a.m. of his Rolex watch, car keys and wallet, among other belongings, at the Alco Park parking garage along 13th Street near Madison Street, sheriff’s spokesperson Lt. Tya Modeste said.
Oakland police and sheriff’s deputies are investigating. No one was in custody as of Thursday afternoon, Modeste said.
Anyone who can help is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 510-667-7721.
Perhaps it is a small step forward to awaken our Justice system as to the crime on our streets. Mere citizens that experience crime on a daily basis and justifiably scream about what is not being addressed can only hope that a Judge becoming a victim will cause him to take pause with his profession.
