"The marijuana dealer, an apparent friend of Tatmon, got into an argument. Police allege that Tatmon taunted the others as "millennials," punched Kevin Valdez-Gomez in the head when his back was turned and then took out a pistol. Valdez-Gomez allegedly produced a gun and fired at Tatmon, but was quickly disarmed by two other men on Tatmon's side of the conflict, authorities said."
"That's when police say the killing started. Ramirez was reportedly shot during the initial confrontation and struggle over Kevin Valdez-Gomez's weapon; it's unclear from court records who allegedly fired the fatal shot. But then Tatmon killed the brothers, first by shooting Luis Valdez-Gomez, then waiting for Kevin to exit the store, shooting him once in the head, then standing over his body and firing at least one shot into his chest as he lay on the ground."
A 40-year-old man, Darrell Genesis Tatmon, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder after a 3 a.m. shooting outside a Sky Market on 85th Avenue and International Boulevard in East Oakland. The victims were brothers Luis Antonio Valdez-Gomez and Kevin Andrew Valdez-Gomez, and Miguel Angel Ramirez. The incident began when the brothers tried to buy marijuana from a dealer who was an apparent friend of Tatmon; an argument and confrontation followed. Ramirez was shot during a struggle over Kevin Valdez-Gomez's weapon and died at a hospital. Tatmon allegedly shot both brothers and is being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail.
