OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- As Oakland police officers continue to investigate the deadly shooting of a TV news security officer last week, investigators believe a person has cell phone video of the incident and want to speak with them, the department said.

On Nov. 24, security guard Kevin Nishita was working for a KRON 4 news crew when he was shot and killed during an attempted robbery in downtown Oakland.

Police say this video could potentially provide more information to pursue more leads in the case.

Police are continuing to search for a white Acura TL in the case.



Law enforcement honored Nishita as his casket was escorted from the Alameda County Coroner's Office to a Mountain View funeral home yesterday.



The motorcade included officers from Hayward, San Jose and Colma police departments. Nishita worked at all of them before he retired and became a security guard.
