"Oakland Police Officer Tuan Le was fatally shot in a barrage of gunfire in late December 2023, while sitting inside an unmarked pickup truck with another plainclothed officer, outside the Peakz cannabis growing operation at Embarcadero and Ninth Avenue in Oakland. Four men were arrested shortly after the killing and charged with Le's murder: Marquise Cooper, Mark Demetrious Sanders, Allen Brown, and Sebron Russell."
"Cooper had state charges against him dropped last year, but now he, Brown, and Russell have been charged in federal court with conspiring to distribute, possessing with intent to distribute, and attempting to possess with intent to distribute more than 100 marijuana plants. Sanders, who investigators believe was the one to pull the trigger and fire 20 shots, was not among those federally indicted on these same charges"
Nine individuals were federally indicted for conspiring to distribute, possessing with intent to distribute, and attempting to possess with intent to distribute more than 100 marijuana plants tied to multiple thefts from a cannabis grow in Oakland. Officer Tuan Le was fatally shot outside the Peakz cannabis growing operation during these incidents. Four men were initially arrested for Le's murder: Marquise Cooper, Mark Demetrious Sanders, Allen Brown, and Sebron Russell. Cooper, Brown, and Russell now face the federal drug-conspiracy charges; Sanders is treated separately and labeled an "unnamed co-conspirator." Brown and Russell face additional firearm charges. Two relatives of Sanders were charged as accessories.
