Bryn Walker Founders Found Dead in Oakland Hills Shooting
Michelle Min and Bryan Walker, co-founders of the luxury fashion label Bryn Walker, were found shot dead outside their Oakland Hills home on October 2, 2026. Oakland police are investigating the incident as a potential murder-suicide, with a firearm recovered at the scene. Family members allege that Bryan Walker suffered from mental health issues and had lost over $100 million in risky financial decisions, leading to deep debt and depression. The couple had been married for over 30 years and built the brand from a small Berkeley store into a nationwide wholesale operation. A community memorial was established near the shooting site, and police have stated there is no ongoing threat to public safety.
