This gofundme has been set up to assist Mr. Li, the Asian man that intervened and stepped in to help attempt 2 thieves from robbing a woman's purse. He is a local good samaritan that saw what happened and wanted to help.







 




Funds raised will be going to assist Mr. Li in recovery, medical bills, and expenses. Any additional funds leftover will be donated to a local charity or organization (we will share and post updates on which org he chooses to work with).







 




Mr. Li was with his mom shopping when he heard the screams and jumped into action. He had a past government job where he learned active shooter training, so he knew how to approach the situation.







 




He wanted to de-escalate the situation and unfortunately was shot twice.






 



ABC 7 News Reporter Dion Lim was able to interview Mr. Li. Some of the responses from the Mr. Li: 





“I’m glad they are grateful and it’s why I try to help out.





 



I wanted to calm everyone down it’s why I approached them. To try to deescalate the situation before it got out of hand but it got out of hand really really fast. Immediate action really needed to be required or someone else could be seriously hurt.





 



I have no regrets of doing it. If you were getting robbed think about your safety first, don’t think about your possessions. Those can always be replaced. Lives cannot be replaced. Always take the safest route.”





 




 




Story:







Over the weekend, a young Asian woman was targeted by 2 black male suspects with guns and a 3rd suspect in a getaway gold Honda Accord car in Chinatown, Oakland.







 




Two couples were along 8th and Franklin getting boba Saturday afternoon when two men in ski masks grabbed the purse belonging to two of the women.







 




One man in the group of 4 who wants to be identified only as “Mr. Chan” (he’s the one in the blurred photo) says “they pulled their shirts up and showed they have guns under their pants. Immediately we all froze.”







 




Mr. Chan sprang into action and grabbed his girlfriend’s handbag and was pistol-whipped in the process.







 




A good samaritan named Mr. Li jumped in to grab the other woman’s purse away from the suspects and was shot in the left armpit and right thigh. You can see in the dramatic cell phone video of his injuries.







 




Mr. Li is currently resting in a hospital where he is recovering well and hoping to go home soon.




 




This comes on the heels of attacks in Chinatown, like the two violent robbery attacks at 9th and Harrison in two days last month.







 




The suspects got away in a gold Honda Accord sedan and currently still on the loose. Please be on high alert when out in public in the Bay Area.
