Family Ties in Oakland Homicide Case in the Arrests of Paula and Sariah Faaui

On August 24th, the Oakland Police Department (OPD) arrested Paula Faaui in connection with the homicide of Julian Carillo-Garcia, which happened just a few days prior, on August 20th, in the 5800 block of Bancroft Avenue. Immediately following, Sariah Faaui was apprehended for being an accessory to the murder, as reported by OPD.

The unrelenting efforts of the OPD Homicide Investigators and the Violent Crimes Operation Center contributed to the successful apprehension of Paula and Sariah. Due to their diligence in this case, both women were safely taken into custody.

The Alameda County District Attorney's Office has already charged both Paula Faaui and Sariah Faaui for their respective roles in the tragic crime.

This recent homicide adds to the persistent occurrences of gun violence in Oakland. The incident took place just before 6:00 PM, and OPD Communications Division soon received reports of an individual seemingly suffering from an unknown injury, according to the OPD. Upon their arrival, officers found the victim with an apparent gunshot wound or wounds. Medical personnel later declared the victim deceased on the scene.

Investigators from the OPD Homicide Section were called to assess the crime scene thoroughly and gather necessary information to understand the motives and events surrounding Carillo-Garcia's death. Keeping in line with standard procedure, his name was initially withheld, pending positive identification and notification to his next of kin.

In response to this tragic event and in pursuit of justice for Julian Carillo-Garcia, the Oakland Police Department is urging anyone with information on this homicide to come forward. Tipsters can contact the Homicide Section at (510) 238-3821 or provide anonymous information through the TIP LINE at 238-7950.

The arrest of Paula and Sariah Faaui demonstrates the progress that can be attained through the unwavering diligence of law enforcement. However, it also underscores the hard truths that must be faced in the ongoing battle against gun violence and other criminal activities in Oakland.
