Chyemil Pierce, a 30-year-old Kaiser worker in Oakland, was killed in a shooting on March 9. Chyemil had just picked up two of her three children from school when she got caught in the middle of a shoot-out. Apparently, she got shot when she rushed to protect her children.
People who knew Chyemil said she was saving money to move out of the dangerous neighborhood where she had grown up.
