A homeless man stabbed to death in North Oakland, allegedly by his girlfriend, was identified by police Monday as 54-year-old Wallace Scott.
Scott was stabbed in the cab of a Dodge pickup truck parked at the corner of San Pablo and Ocean avenues at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday, police said. Investigators are seeking his girlfriend, Tamara Warren, 39, in connection with the slaying, authorities said.
Scotty, as neighborhood residents knew him, was a transient who suffered from a crack-cocaine addiction and had a tumultuous relationship with Warren, with whom he lived in the pickup truck, residents said.
In a separate slaying, a man shot and killed over the weekend in West Oakland was identified as 26-year-old Walter Harris.
Harris was standing outside a car on the 1700 block of 10th Street, talking to a 28-year-old man inside the vehicle, when someone opened fire at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday, said Officer Holly Joshi, a police spokeswoman.
Harris died at Highland Hospital in Oakland. His companion was shot and critically wounded. No arrests have been made.
