Bay Area man is now a suspect in two mass shootings, including recent San Francisco attack that injured 9

A Bay Area man is wanted for involvement in two mass shootings, one on Friday in San Francisco where nine people were injured and the other in January in Oakland where a teen was gunned down and others were struck by bullets during a music video shoot, multiple law enforcement officials said Monday.

Javier Campos Jr., an alleged member of a Bay Area subset for the Sureño gang, was not in Police custody as of Monday afternoon. He has been named as a suspect in the Friday mass shooting in San Francisco’s Mission District, as well as the Jan. 23 shooting at a Valero gas station in Oakland, during a music video for a Stockton rapper, the sources said. The Oakland shooting occurred after a group of Sureños crashed the set of the video, prompting a shootout between them and a number of alleged Norteño gang affiliates, police say.

Campos, whose whereabouts are unknown, is out on bail facing gun possession charges in Alameda County. He has a warrant for his arrest on assault charges in connection with the Oakland gun battle, and is wanted for questioning in the San Francisco shooting, authorities said. Additionally, he has outstanding warrants in San Mateo County.

San Francisco’s shooting was one of two mass shootings around the Bay Area this past weekend. On Sunday morning, an 18-year-old woman was killed and six others were injured during a shooting at an Antioch house party.

The Friday shooting in the Mission District erupted around 9 p.m., during a block party near 24th Street and Treat Avenue. Despite the high number of people wounded, police described it as a “targeted,” not random, shooting but have not publicly revealed a specific motive. The Mission District is home to a well-established subset of the Norteño gang, the longtime rivals of the Sureños.

The Oakland shooting on the night of Jan. 23 happened during a video shoot for the Stockton-based rapper Acito, who police describe as a “well-known Norteño rapper,” according to court records. Mario Navarro-Navarro, 18, was killed and six others were injured, including a woman who survived a gunshot wound to the chest and a man who lived after being struck in the neck, police say. Several more were struck by gunfire.

Since the shooting, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office has charged Brian David Cruz, 21, of San Leandro, with murdering Navarro-Navarro. In court papers, police say one person came up and began firing at a crowd of people near Acito, prompting at least three in the crowd to return fire. More than 80 shell casings were found near the East Oakland gas station.

Since the shooting, three other suspects were arrested in a series of SWAT raids in Oakland and Fairfield. Police seized evidence from them and released them, authorities say.

At the time of both the San Francisco and Oakland mass shootings, Campos was out on bail in a multi-count felony case in Alameda County, filed last September. In that case, prosecutors charged him with multiple counts of drug and gun possession, stemming from his arrest at a Burger King in Oakland.

The police probable cause statement says Oakland police searched Campos’ Mercedes Benz and found an unregistered ghost gun underneath the front passenger seat, as well as seven baggies of various drugs, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and ecstasy in the backseat.

Campos’ Mercedes was seen fleeing the area after Friday’s San Francisco shooting, according to authorities.

Anyone with information related to the case can contact San Francisco police at 650-575-4444.
