Pamela Price Defies 2024 Recall Lies And Seeks To Reclaim Her Historic Role As Alameda County DA

SAN FRANCISCO - Feb. 13, 2026 - PRLog -- Posted Courtesy of Wright Enterprises Community Spotlight San Francisco ~ Dallas

Former Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is setting the record straight regarding the false narrative that she was "soft on crime" in connection with the tragic murder of Kevin Nishita, a former police officer killed while protecting a television news crew.

As the first Black woman elected District Attorney in Alameda County history, Price faced an unprecedented recall campaign fueled in part by misrepresentation of the Nishita case. She is now running to regain her seat — poised to make history again.

The Kevin Nishita Case: The Full and Accurate Record

The unfortunate and egregious murder of Kevin Nishita happened during the 13-year administration of former DA Nancy O'Malley, who was first appointed to the position of District Attorney of Alameda County.

Under the O'Malley administration:

• Incorrect defendants were initially charged. (See Document  No.-CR003194B)
• The confirmed shooter, Laron Gilbert, was released.
• Gilbert fled and remained at large for nearly two years.

These facts were largely omitted in media reporting during the recall effort.

Correcting Inherited Errors Is Justice — Not Leniency

When Pamela Price assumed office, she inherited numerous homicide cases, including Nishita's, from an administration critics described as marked by stagnation and insularity.

Price took immediate corrective action:
✔ Reviewed and corrected flawed charging decisions.
✔ Oversaw Gilbert's apprehension and extradition from Kansas City, Missouri.
✔ Properly charged Gilbert based on evidence.
✔ Ensured co-defendants Shadihia Mitchell and Hershel Hale were charged in accordance with provable facts.

This was not discretionary politics. It was a constitutional obligation.

Justice demands accuracy before punishment.
