Berkeley Police Lt. Dave Frankel has informed the Planet that the victim of the murder last night at the corner of Shattuck and Emerson has been identified as Kenneth Warren, who worked at Don's Headquarters, a popular neighborhood barber shop at the same location, as well as at the Port of Oakland.  

The shop is owned by Don Warren, reported in some online comments to be the uncle of the murder victim.  

Lt. Frankel said that Berkeley police officers are actively working on leads in the case, but are not ready to release information about suspects.
