The best friend of Oscar Grant who was there the night a BART police officer fatally shot the unarmed man was shot and killed at a Hayward gas station, authorities and friends said Saturday.

Johntue Caldwell, 25, of Fremont was found behind the wheel of a Cadillac parked at the Union 76 gas station at West Tennyson Road and Calaroga Avenue about 5:35 p.m. Friday, according to police and friends.

The victim had been sitting in the Cadillac when someone walked up to the vehicle and fired several rounds, said Hayward police Lt. Roger Keener. The assailant fled and was not located after a search of the area.

Just one of life's coincidences I suppose. After all these were just a bunch of choir boys riding home from church on BART that New Years evening.

[Revolting cat!]

He was just turning his life around.

He had a promising rap career ahead of him.

This sentence makes no sense.

So the best friend of Oscar was there and got shot the night a BART cop fatally shot the unarmed man:however, he was shot more and got killed in Hayward later. I guess BART cops shoot bullets that travel thousands of miles, orbit the Earth and then land and kill the best friends of people named Oscar.

I give up.

Poor guy’s family looses out in this scenario. Get shot buy a fellow street thug and your family gets squat. Get shot by a cop and they get millions from the taxpayers.

I’m thinking that the Chronicle had to let its editors go, and the “reporter” probably works for free.

Holy crap I think 'authorities and friends' need to work on their grammar. Or hire a better editor.

Oscar Grant is who again? Am I supposed to know who this is or was? Is Oscar still alive? Is Jontue OK? Did Jontue get shot? Did Oscar get shot? I’m sooooo confused!
