TBS Today, Oct. 1
It's been four years since I began covering one of the most heartbreaking stories of my career. Two young brothers from Berkeley High were killed at a birthday party just a few blocks from my home in North Oakland.
They were innocent victims who were not the intended targets. Their deaths shook the school community and rippled through the Bay Area.
The case is still moving slowly through the justice system. We remain in touch with the family and we hope to have an update soon.
In the meantime, we're sharing several stories from our archives about what happened.
