Oakland – less than a year after Alameda County agreed to release the prison in an abrupt tone, a local resident was accused of nine serious crimes in relation to a recent shooting.
Roland Randall, 44, allegedly accused the victim of taking the police to his “trap place”, a snake term for a place used for the sale of drugs, before opening fire to man in the 2300 block of San Pablo Avenue in Oakland. He was arrested in the same place six weeks after the shooting of February 10, with a fugitive order, by a squad of police officers who carried out surveillance for him, as shown in the judicial records.
The shooting occurred only eight months after Randall, who also passes through Roland Bickman, received an early release from prison for killing a man with his brother in 2003. His release was the result of a four -day diPery participant “in The Killing of Marvin Brooks, then apparently changed his mind and agreed to the release of Randall from the prison, the judicial records show.
On June 14, 2024, the deputy prosecutor of District Robert Graff presented a document in response to Randall’s request for prison release. Graff’s presentation said that Randall acted “with an indifference reckless of human life” when he and his brother supposedly fired Brooks during a marijuana robbery, and that Randall could “currently condemned” despite the new restrictions on the state law that limits when prosecutors can accuse a person with murder when someone is killed to the duration of the commission of another delegate.
Graff took out this conclusion after reviewing the case file and a probation transcription hearing in which Randall admitted shots that day, says the document.
But then, on June 18, 2024, Graff changed his tone completely, writing that “according to the state of the law and the evidence of voluntary avia today, people question if they managed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that is the noise that is the Beyte axis is the axis in court later that day, Graff said there were questions about whether Randall was” part of the robbery. “
At a 2021 probation hearing, Randall said he had taken a gun and “shot blindly” after seeing his brother pull a duration of a weapon a heated dispute with a marijuana dealership. Randall described the conflict not as a robbery, but an argument about the amount of marijuana that they would get for $ 40. He said he was trying to hit Brooks.
“I’m not a cold blood murderer. I couldn’t look at anyone in his eye and shoot anyone cold,” he said. Randall also complained that he had falsely labeled a member of the Kumi 415 gang, a branch of the Black Guerilla family based in the Bay area.
Both Roland Randall and his brother, Michael Randall, were accused of murder. In 2009, both did not oppose involuntary homicide, and both were given 21 years. But unlike Roland Randall, there was never a legal relief in the case of Michael. It remains in Salinas Valley state prison, according to records.
After his release, Roland Randall returned to the Bay area. On February 10, Hey supposedly shot a Brentwood man in Oakland, resulted in the new case. The authorities say that Randall and the victim had left with the same woman, and that the victim was warned that “Roro de East Palo Alto” had been looking for him.
Brentwood’s car was hit by shots, but escaped from an injury. Police says he consulted an expert in application of the law in East Palo Alto gangs, which identified “Roro” as Randall. He was accused on April 1, two charges of shooting to man, several charges for firearms, which have cocaine and a firearm, and a wear charge of having a magazine of great capacity, as shown by the judicial records.
Prosecutors have also moved to violate Randall’s probation in the case of involuntary homicide. The next court is due to the Court on April 16 for a preliminary hearing, where a judge will review the evidence against him and determine if there is enough to keep the charges.
Meanwhile, Randall cannot be rescued from jail.
