"A 49-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole until after 40 years. Redman Collins, of Oakland, was convicted earlier this year of second degree murder and a gun enhancement. On Dec. 9, Judge Delia Trevino sentenced him to 40 years to life behind bars, records show. He remains at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin for now, pending transfer to the state prison system."
"Prosecutors argued at trial that Collins and his nephew arranged to meet Runnels that day for a marijuana deal, which Runnels and the nephew had done several times before. But Collins' presence that day was a surprise, authorities said. Runnels angrily objected to him being there, and Collins' nephew attempted to assure him that everything would be fine, according to authorities. A few seconds later, Runnels shoved Collins' nephew and Collins responded by shooting Runnels, prosecutors said."
Redman Collins, 49, of Oakland, was convicted of second degree murder and a gun enhancement for the Oct. 12, 2022, fatal shooting of 31-year-old Antwan Runnels near Lafayette Square Park in Old Oakland. On Dec. 9, Judge Delia Trevino sentenced Collins to 40 years to life, with parole possible only after 40 years; he receives credit for time spent in custody while the case was pending. Collins remains at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin pending transfer to the state prison system. Prosecutors said Collins and his nephew arranged a marijuana deal with Runnels; an unexpected confrontation led to Runnels shoving the nephew and Collins shooting Runnels.
