Jen Angel,
owner of Angel Cakes bakery, was violently assaulted during a robbery.

(KRON) — A suspect was taken into custody in connection to the death of a popular Oakland baker earlier this year, the Oakland Police Department confirmed Friday.
Ishmael Burch has been arrested by the Oakland Police Department in connection to the death of Angel Cakes owner Jen Angel.
Angel, 48, was killed during a violent robbery in Oakland in February. Angel was sitting in her car behind a bank on Webster Street in Oakland when a suspect broke into her car and grabbed her purse. The suspect jumped into a nearby getaway vehicle and took off.

She exited her vehicle and attempted to retrieve her purse. While struggling to regain her belongings, she was knocked down and dragged by the getaway car. She suffered injuries during the confrontation and died three days later.
Angel was well known in the Bay Area as a baker and a social justice advocate. Shortly after her death, Angel’s family said she would not want her assailant to be criminally prosecuted in court as she did not believe in incarceration as a solution to social violence or inequity.
Angel founded Angel Cakes in 2008. In 2016, she moved into the historic Gingerbread House on 5th Street in Oakland.

A 19-year-old man was charged in the killing of a popular California bakery owner fatally wounded in a purse snatching after being dragged by the getaway car and hitting her head in the middle of the street.


Ishmael Jenkins Burch was charged with murder and second-degree robbery in the killing of Jen Angel in February. Burch also faces one battery charge for a second robbery on the same day. He was arrested on June 2. Burch is being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, California. His next hearing was set for July 14, online jail records show.

Angel was fatally wounded on Feb. 6 in downtown Oakland when a thief broke into her car while she was in it, snatched her purse, then ran to a getaway vehicle. Angel jumped out of her car and ran after the thief, but she was knocked down in a struggle, snagged by the suspects’ car door and dragged more than 50 feet before falling into the street, according to the San Jose Mercury News.


Angel died three days later at a hospital after losing all brain function and being taken off life support, friends said.

Burch was identified as the driver, and he committed a second robbery nearby that day, police said. Cellphone data and surveillance footage helped identify Burch as a suspect, the Mercury News reported.


Angel, 48, once ran an alternative magazine and founded Angel Cakes. In 2016, she opened a storefront bakery at 745 Fifth Street in Oakland, in the historic Gingerbread House, an Oakland staple from the 1970s to 2007.


Her family said they didn’t want the person or people responsible for her death to be incarcerated, to honor her commitment to restorative and transformative justice. She believed incarceration was not an effective or just solution to social violence and inequity.


On a website, the estate of Jen Angel, a group of trusted friends, said the family is committed to pursuing all available alternatives to traditional prosecution.

“Jen’s family and close friends ask that the media respect this request and carry forward the story of her life with celebration and clarity about the world she aimed to build,” the statement said. “Jen’s family and friends ask that stories referencing Jen’s life do not use her legacy of care and community to further inflame narratives of fear, hatred, and vengeance. We do not support putting public resources into policing, incarceration, or other state violence that perpetuates the cycle of violence that resulted in this tragedy.


“Steps absolutely need to be taken to ensure that those who caused this horrendous violence against Jen do not harm other people and that these circumstances are not allowed to be replicated in our society,” the statement continued. “However, Jen believed that the current legal system is not effective in ensuring either of these things and that the existing system of carceral punishment does not make society safer.”

Update from Family and Friends of Jen Angel: “Oakland Community Leader and Bakery Owner, Jen Angel Has Died”


It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that Oakland baker, small business owner, social justice activist, and community member Jen Angel has been medically declared to have lost all brain function and will not regain consciousness. Her official time of death was 5:48pm (PT).

Friends and family of Jen hope that the story of this last chapter of her brilliant, full, dynamic life is one focused on her commitment to community, on the care bestowed upon her and her family by the people who loved her, and on the generous and courageous role of countless health care workers and public servants who fought to preserve her life. We know Jen would not want to continue the cycle of harm by bringing state-sanctioned violence to those involved in her death or to other members of Oakland’s community.

As a long-time social movement activist and anarchist, Jen did not believe in state violence, carceral punishment, or incarceration as an effective or just solution to social violence and inequity. The outpouring of support and care for Jen, her family and friends, and the values she held dear is a resounding demonstration of the response to harm that Jen believed in: community members relying on one another, leading with love, centering the needs of the most vulnerable, and not resorting to vengeance and inflicting more harm.

Jen believed in a world where everyone can live a dignified and joyful life and worked toward an ecologically sustainable and deeply participatory society in which all people have access to the things they need, decisions are made by those most directly affected by them, and all people are free and equal.

Angel Cakes, the popular community-based bakery that Jen founded in 2008, will remain open, supported by Jen’s estate, and staffed by the talented team that Jen built. Community members who wish to support the bakery can especially help through buying gift certificates and committing to long-term patronage.

Per Jen’s wishes, her organs will be donated, and her committed medical team has informed the family that those organs will serve to lengthen and improve the lives of up to 70 people.

If the Oakland Police Department does make an arrest in this case, the family is committed to pursuing all available alternatives to traditional prosecution, such as restorative justice.
Jen’s family and close friends ask that the media respect this request and carry forward the story of her life with celebration and clarity about the world she aimed to build. Jen’s family and friends ask that stories referencing Jen’s life do not use her legacy of care and community to further inflame narratives of fear, hatred, and vengeance. We do not support putting public resources into policing, incarceration, or other state violence that perpetuates the cycle of violence that resulted in this tragedy.

We wish for Jen’s legacy to be one of deep commitment to safety and dignity for everyone.
