Born and raised in Oakland, Upshaw served time in prison as a young man for robbing a grocery store, and as an adult for domestic violence. Now he works as a violence interrupter for California Youth Outreach in Oakland. He has three adult sons, all incarcerated, two on murder convictions. Those stemmed from a gunbattle in which a young innocent bystander was killed. That boy was the son of an old friend, and his death affected Glen deeply. He says his greatest hope is that the boy's family will forgive his sons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97209\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/4453_transform.jpg\" alt=\"4453_transform\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gerald Lampkin\u003c/strong> is the product of a long legacy of violence. His grandfather was murdered before he was born, and when he was 1 year old his father went to prison for homicide. Nineteen years later, it was his father who visited Lampkin in prison — he was doing time for attempted murder. Lampkin spent 12 years in and out of jail. During a stint at Pelican Bay, he says, he saw a man two weeks from his release fatally shot. It wasn’t the first time he witnessed a man murdered in prison, but he resolved it would be the last, and that he would never return. Lampkin hopes Oakland can reduce its homicide count from 131 in 2012 to 80 -- though he says 50 would be better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97211\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/4751_transform.jpg\" alt=\"4751_transform\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Richard Shaw\u003c/strong> started dealing drugs when he was 15. He joined Oakland's notorious Broadway Hustlers gang, selling cocaine to sailors passing through town, then working his way up the organization. After several stints in prison, he made a lot of money turning coke into crack, earning the nickname “Richie Rich.” In the mid-'80s, he became a fugitive, was eventually caught, and sent back to jail. After he was released: back to the streets. In the mid-'90s, he went to jail on a felony charge of indecent exposure related to an argument with a woman in a bar. He then lost everything – drugs, cars, money and even the legitimate businesses he had built up. Now he says he's applying the same lessons he used in the drug-dealing game to start a house-painting business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97213\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/4457_transform.jpg\" alt=\"4457_transform\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lamar Allen\u003c/strong> is one of the few Men of Influence who has never gone to prison. He attended college at California State University, Long Beach, where he majored in African American studies. Allen's parents were career drug dealers who were teenagers when he was born, and he was raised by his grandparents. Allen, born and raised in Oakland, says playing baseball kept him from selling drugs — but that was rare among his friends. When he was a teen, one of them was murdered. Allen was the first in his family to go to college, which he says inspired some of his relatives to apply.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Now he works as a violence interrupter for California Youth Outreach in Oakland. He has three adult sons, all incarcerated, two on murder convictions. Those stemmed from a gunbattle in which a young innocent bystander was killed. That boy was the son of an old friend, and his death affected Glen deeply. He says his greatest hope is that the boy's family will forgive his sons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His grandfather was murdered before he was born, and when he was 1 year old his father went to prison for homicide. Nineteen years later, it was his father who visited Lampkin in prison — he was doing time for attempted murder. Lampkin spent 12 years in and out of jail. During a stint at Pelican Bay, he says, he saw a man two weeks from his release fatally shot. It wasn’t the first time he witnessed a man murdered in prison, but he resolved it would be the last, and that he would never return. Lampkin hopes Oakland can reduce its homicide count from 131 in 2012 to 80 -- though he says 50 would be better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97211\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/4751_transform.jpg\" alt=\"4751_transform\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Richard Shaw\u003c/strong> started dealing drugs when he was 15. He joined Oakland's notorious Broadway Hustlers gang, selling cocaine to sailors passing through town, then working his way up the organization. After several stints in prison, he made a lot of money turning coke into crack, earning the nickname “Richie Rich.” In the mid-'80s, he became a fugitive, was eventually caught, and sent back to jail. After he was released: back to the streets. In the mid-'90s, he went to jail on a felony charge of indecent exposure related to an argument with a woman in a bar. He then lost everything – drugs, cars, money and even the legitimate businesses he had built up. Now he says he's applying the same lessons he used in the drug-dealing game to start a house-painting business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97213\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/4457_transform.jpg\" alt=\"4457_transform\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lamar Allen\u003c/strong> is one of the few Men of Influence who has never gone to prison.

Allen, born and raised in Oakland, says playing baseball kept him from selling drugs — but that was rare among his friends. When he was a teen, one of them was murdered. Allen was the first in his family to go to college, which he says inspired some of his relatives to apply.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

One of the men gave Arnoldo his cell phone number and told him to call if he ever needed anything, day or night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s actually pretty cool because it’s people trying to help give back to the community,” Arnoldo said. “And some of us really just need the help, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lamar Allen is one of the Men of Influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to become the elders, we have to adopt these kids in a sense,” said the 44-year-old Allen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An elder can be 29 or 60, Allen said. The important thing is for Men of Influence to recruit teenagers in order to work toward actually stopping the shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just wanna show the kids that’s out here now, feeling hopeless, that we care,” Allen said. “And put the gun down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what 29-year-old Greg Johnson is trying to do with Damarea, who is about to become a father himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damarea said he is determined to do a better job than his father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want my child to feel toward me how I feel toward my father,” he said. “Like feel neglected, feel like he could have been there. The same old story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson gives Damarea rides to basketball games and shares parenting advice. In return, on a recent Saturday, Damarea helped Johnson and other members of Men of Influence pick up trash in the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you don’t lead ‘em, somebody else is lead[ing] ‘em,” Johnson said. “You don’t ever want the wrong person to lead ‘em, so that’s part of stepping up. You see him out here helping, he being a productive community member, so that’s all you could ask.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Filling a Vacuum\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But raising a son in East Oakland can be incredibly hard, as group founder Glen Upshaw knows. Nearly 10 years ago, two of his sons were having problems with another group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw stepped in to help resolve it, and he believed he had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought it was squashed,” he said. “But somehow they started shooting at my sons, and I don’t know where my sons got some guns from … but they started shooting back, and an innocent bystander got shot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That innocent bystander turned out to be the child of an old friend. Upshaw’s sons went to prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw said maybe if the Men of Influence had been around back then, that killing could have been prevented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F86136874\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oakland Crime and Prevention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/02/stopping-violence-before-it-begins-in-oakland/\">In Oakland, Trying to Stop Violence Before It Starts\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/25/among-oaklands-dead-whats-a-typical-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Among Oakland’s Dead, What’s a Typical Case?\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/24/oakland-residents-plead-pay-attention-to-killings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Oakland Residents Plead: Pay Attention to Killings\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Oakland’s Gun Problem: 11 Firearm Crimes a Day\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/12/oaklands-other-homicide-crisis-unsolved-cases/\">Oakland’s Other Crime Problem: Unsolved Homicides\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The group seeks to connect with Oakland youth and prevent violence before it can start, both by mediating disputes and serving as role models to the often fatherless kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He jumped into action when Harris called.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We got on the phone. We started making contacts with people who did know this person,” Upshaw said. “They got into contact with the person who was going to be the shooter, and we were able to resolve that incident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In East Oakland, as in many rough city neighborhoods across the country, gun-related crimes happen daily. Citywide, police recorded an average of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11 gun incidents a day\u003c/a> last year, from armed robberies to killings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easy to add up the crimes, but it is much harder to get them to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Men of Influence believes it takes those who know the streets to make them safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw banks on his reputation in East Oakland when he works to diffuse a potentially violent situation.

Most importantly: Men who do not snitch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a code of honor out here,” Upshaw said. “It’s a big thing for a person to get in trouble and go do their time, and do it like a man, without telling. … That means a lot to the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw is trying to recruit people every five or 10 blocks throughout the toughest parts of Oakland. That way, when the Men of Influence hotline gets a call about a dispute, Upshaw already has someone lined up who knows the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said she believes this could work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there’s a murder on 96th, and you want to stop the violence on 96th, where do you go? You go to 96th, you go to where the problem is,” she said. “You don’t walk around the problem. You have to go right in there — if you walk into danger, you walk into danger. If you wanna stop the violence, then you have to allow yourself to walk into danger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Upshaw’s core group has grown to 18 men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the Men of Influence has moved on to phase two: going deeper into neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘OK to Approach?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early one morning, eight men fanned out across Oakland’s Seminary neighborhood. They picked up trash and handed out flyers. This small act of community service is their way of cautiously introducing themselves to people and recruiting new members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How you doing? Is it OK to approach?” Upshaw asked a man sitting on his front porch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw walked up to him. They chatted for a bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, if you see any violence or anything of that sort, you can call our hotline, and we’ll get right on it and try and resolve anything,” Upshaw told the man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s nice,” the man said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw plans to introduce his group to a new neighborhood every month. But first, he said, the men need permission. Otherwise, neighbors might take offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people might take it … disrespectful, and they might want to shoot at you,” he said. “It’s no telling. So it’s a sensitive matter with the way people think nowadays.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Dumping Ground\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diapers, rotting food and takeout containers spilled out of ripped-open trash bags at East 16th Street’s dumping spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Cleaning the streets sends a strong message: These blocks are ours.\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Richard Shaw, one of the Men of Influence, shoveled garbage there. Cleaning the streets sends a strong message, he said: These blocks are ours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We definitely gonna police our own neighborhoods, that’s what it is,” Shaw said. “No one else is policing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People figure, “‘Oh, this is garbage neighborhood, we can kill somebody, we can do some dope right here. Cause that’s no man’s land,'” Shaw said. “No, no. It ain’t no man’s land no more. These are neighborhoods where real people live, and real people wanna keep on living.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The ‘Coolest Cat,’ the ‘Godfather,’ the Mediator\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jimmy Dennis, who lives around the corner from the dump, called Men of Influence for help recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_93082\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/02/stopping-violence-before-it-begins-in-oakland/2168249167_6a1b532482_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-93082\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-93082\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/2168249167_6a1b532482_b-300x200.jpg\" alt='\"Peace and love\" in Oakland.

It started over money, but when one of the guys showed up at Dennis’ house with a gun, bent on revenge, Dennis locked the gun-wielder inside the gate to his yard and called Upshaw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Upshaw is like the coolest cat to me,” Dennis said. “When he drives up, he gets out. He doesn’t even really respond — he doesn’t wave and acknowledge us. He sort of looks around, see where everyone is at, and he sees me and the other guy in the gate, and he see the other guy just roaming around the yard like a pit bull just trying to get out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It didn’t need to go into gun play,” Upshaw said. “We could resolve this with a handshake, if he was willing to do so, because they had came up together. And whatever the reason was, I wasn’t taking it lightly, but they could overlook that and start a new today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He mostly just listened to each side, Upshaw said. And after a few hours, he was able to convince them not to shoot each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennis said mediation worked because both friends have known Upshaw all their lives. They have respect for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once the father figure got there—when the godfather showed up, it was like OK,” Dennis said. “Everybody get humble, get respectful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To really be effective, Upshaw said, he needs to recruit men the younger generations look up to. He needs fathers, uncles and older brothers. He needs men who have influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listen to the story here:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F86056861\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/25/among-oaklands-dead-whats-a-typical-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Among Oakland’s Dead, What’s a Typical Case?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/24/oakland-residents-plead-pay-attention-to-killings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Residents Plead: Pay Attention to Killings\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\">Oakland’s Gun Problem: 11 Firearm Crimes a Day\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/12/oaklands-other-homicide-crisis-unsolved-cases/\">Oakland’s Other Crime Problem: Unsolved Homicides\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Most importantly: Men who do not snitch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a code of honor out here,” Upshaw said. “It’s a big thing for a person to get in trouble and go do their time, and do it like a man, without telling. … That means a lot to the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw is trying to recruit people every five or 10 blocks throughout the toughest parts of Oakland. That way, when the Men of Influence hotline gets a call about a dispute, Upshaw already has someone lined up who knows the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said she believes this could work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there’s a murder on 96th, and you want to stop the violence on 96th, where do you go? You go to 96th, you go to where the problem is,” she said. “You don’t walk around the problem. You have to go right in there — if you walk into danger, you walk into danger. If you wanna stop the violence, then you have to allow yourself to walk into danger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Upshaw’s core group has grown to 18 men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the Men of Influence has moved on to phase two: going deeper into neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘OK to Approach?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early one morning, eight men fanned out across Oakland’s Seminary neighborhood. They picked up trash and handed out flyers. This small act of community service is their way of cautiously introducing themselves to people and recruiting new members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How you doing? Is it OK to approach?” Upshaw asked a man sitting on his front porch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw walked up to him. They chatted for a bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, if you see any violence or anything of that sort, you can call our hotline, and we’ll get right on it and try and resolve anything,” Upshaw told the man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s nice,” the man said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Upshaw plans to introduce his group to a new neighborhood every month. But first, he said, the men need permission. Otherwise, neighbors might take offense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people might take it … disrespectful, and they might want to shoot at you,” he said. “It’s no telling. So it’s a sensitive matter with the way people think nowadays.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Dumping Ground\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diapers, rotting food and takeout containers spilled out of ripped-open trash bags at East 16th Street’s dumping spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Cleaning the streets sends a strong message: These blocks are ours.\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Richard Shaw, one of the Men of Influence, shoveled garbage there. Cleaning the streets sends a strong message, he said: These blocks are ours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We definitely gonna police our own neighborhoods, that’s what it is,” Shaw said. “No one else is policing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People figure, “‘Oh, this is garbage neighborhood, we can kill somebody, we can do some dope right here. Cause that’s no man’s land,'” Shaw said. “No, no. It ain’t no man’s land no more.

It started over money, but when one of the guys showed up at Dennis’ house with a gun, bent on revenge, Dennis locked the gun-wielder inside the gate to his yard and called Upshaw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Upshaw is like the coolest cat to me,” Dennis said. “When he drives up, he gets out. He doesn’t even really respond — he doesn’t wave and acknowledge us. He sort of looks around, see where everyone is at, and he sees me and the other guy in the gate, and he see the other guy just roaming around the yard like a pit bull just trying to get out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It didn’t need to go into gun play,” Upshaw said. “We could resolve this with a handshake, if he was willing to do so, because they had came up together. And whatever the reason was, I wasn’t taking it lightly, but they could overlook that and start a new today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He mostly just listened to each side, Upshaw said. And after a few hours, he was able to convince them not to shoot each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennis said mediation worked because both friends have known Upshaw all their lives. They have respect for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once the father figure got there—when the godfather showed up, it was like OK,” Dennis said. “Everybody get humble, get respectful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To really be effective, Upshaw said, he needs to recruit men the younger generations look up to. He needs fathers, uncles and older brothers. He needs men who have influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listen to the story here:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is not a whodunit case–that’s the tragic element of this,” says Tim Murphy, the public defender representing Dobbz. He says a contractor renovating a house in East Oakland gave Dobbz a shotgun and some money and told him to keep an eye on the property. One night, Murphy says, Dobbz spotted a man who appeared to be stealing from the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And a confrontation ensued, wherein my client discharged a shotgun, and shooting the individual at close range in the stomach. …” Murphy trails off. The individual shot during the confrontation was Lonnie Turbin, 35, the older brother of Seattle Seahawks running back \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Robert-Turbin-sees-NFL-as-means-to-help-at-home-3393546.php#ixzz1os5eO4cv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Turbin\u003c/a>.

That’s because it’s among the relatively few times police “cleared” one of last year’s homicide cases (by the state Department of Justice definition, a case is cleared when a suspect is arrested and charged). The Oakland Police Department says it has cleared 28 percent of last year’s homicides. By comparison, the statewide average in 2010, the most recent year for which numbers are available, was 64 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>(Key: Green markers: 2012 homicides “cleared” by police.
