The Berkeley Scanner shooting and gunfire map for 2022

Berkeley had 57 shootings and confirmed gunfire reports in 2022.
The Berkeley Scanner created this comprehensive interactive Google Map to help you stay informed about shootings throughout the city and in your neighborhood.
In 2022, three people were killed and 16 people were wounded in shootings in Berkeley.
The Berkeley Scanner updated this map and article when new shootings and gunfire took place. The interactive map appears below.
There are three types of markers on the map: Large red markers show homicides, large black markers show shootings where at least one person was wounded, and small orange markers show confirmed gunfire calls where no one was hurt.
When police are unable to locate a victim, they generally consider a gunfire report to have been confirmed when they find other evidence at the scene, such as bullet casings or property damage.
Click each marker to find basic information about the shooting or gunfire report, as well as a link to more reporting if a story was published about that incident.
The map also shows the Berkeley City Council district where each shooting happened. New in 2022: Click anywhere within the council boundaries to find City Council office details and contact information.
Click the rectangle in the upper left corner of the map to show or hide a list of all the shootings. Click the rectangle in the upper right corner to view the map on Google Maps. Pro tip: The map is a bit easier to navigate on a laptop or desktop than on mobile devices.

While Berkeley itself has no gunfire detection system, other nearby law enforcement agencies, including the Oakland Police Department and the University of California Police Department, use these systems to determine whether there was actual gunfire — versus something like fireworks or another type of explosion — and where the shooting was located.
Those systems at times provide useful information about shootings in Berkeley.
