Just a few things to mention regarding Oakland's total.
1) Out of the 95, I believe that between 1-3 of them were considered justifiable:
there were a couple merchants who killed their offenders/their accomplices, supposedly of self-defense of robberies during the spring; I think that there was a fatal police shooting as well on a criminal. Do you have verification of this?
2) All homicides--justifiable or not--totaled to 102 on August 12th of last year. At the time, 2 were justifiable I believe.
3) Nina Reiser's "death" in the hills (if murdered) was around September 3rd, although not reported until October. It is counted among the totals as a murder, despite the court release of her husband. Hope I remember that story correctly.
Your feedback? Thanks. I wonder if any of this fits into your total
if you have extra info about it.
Thanks for doing this. Great site.

Oaklandhappenings--I haven't been keeping track of murders anywhere other than SF, so sorry I don't have any more info right now. I'm thinking though, that I could go back and add murders for Oakland, Richmond, and San Jose...I might even go ahead and do the whole Bay Area when next year comes around. As long as I keep it up from the beginning, it won't be too hard, I don't think. It's time consuming when going back through the chronicle archives though...already took long enough just to find a lot of the info for SF.
