"OAKLAND Two suspects have been arrested, and later released without charges, in an early morning shootout that killed a Bay Area resident who managed a well-known cannabis dispensary branch. The suspects, men aged 22 and 36, appear to have been on the same side of a Sept. 9 shootout in Oakland, which started when they allegedly opened fire at a Kia sedan around 3 a.m. on the 1700 block of San Pablo Avenue. At least one person in the Kia returned fire."
"John Mica Esquibell, 28, was shot and killed during the gunfire exchange. Police have described Esquibell as an innocent bystander who wasn't involved in the conflict. An online fundraiser says Esquibell worked for the popular marijuana dispensary chain called Stiiizy as a manager. The 22-year-old man later checked into a hospital at Walnut Creek with a gunshot wound to his leg. So did a 19-year-old man, also apparently wounded during the shootout, authorities said."
"No charges have yet been filed against any of the three men. The 36-year-old man was arrested this month by the Alameda County Sheriff's office, records show. The 22-year-old man was arrested last month in San Francisco. At the time of the shootout, the 36-year-old man was awaiting sentencing in a shooting case, stemming from an innocent when he and two women were shot in Oakland."
