Vallejo man gets 6 years for Oakland killing
Briefly

Kevin Gray, a 51-year-old from Vallejo, received a six-year prison sentence for the voluntary manslaughter of 24-year-old Sosefo Feao, with a release date set for July 2027. The shooting occurred during a confrontation in which Feao exhibited aggressive behavior, threatening to stab Gray. Although Gray's defense claimed self-defense, Judge Scott Patton found insufficient evidence to support this argument, as no weapon was found. Gray had been credited with two years served while awaiting sentencing; prosecutors had dismissed a murder charge as part of a plea agreement.
