"During the Jan. 2 raid, Oakland police seized dynamite, two pistols, some loaded magazines, and suspected opiate pills and methamphetamine, as well as several gambling machines, according to court records. The search came one day after a woman reported that armed burglars broke into a home on the 1700 block of Auseon Avenue while she was there, and after fleeing through the back door she heard shots."
"The listed homeowner is a 39-year-old man who police arrested on suspicion of gun possession in February 2025 after a surveillance team spotted him with Lanae Adams, a suspect in the January 2025 killing of 29-year-old Darnesha Williams, court records show. The 39-year-old man was charged with felony gun possession but last October prosecutors dismissed the case. Last year, police investigated dozens of shootings believed to be tied to feuds between two rival groups of gambling shack owners,"
Oakland police raided a suspected gambling den on Jan. 2 and seized dynamite, two pistols, loaded magazines, suspected opiate pills, methamphetamine, and several gambling machines. The raid followed a report that armed burglars broke into a home on the 1700 block of Auseon Avenue the day before, after which a woman fled and heard shots; officers found spent shell casings and evidence of illegal gambling. The listed homeowner is a 39-year-old man previously arrested on suspicion of gun possession after being seen with Lanae Adams, a suspect in the killing of Darnesha Williams; prosecutors later dismissed that gun charge. Investigations last year linked dozens of shootings to feuds among rival gambling-shack operators, prompting multiple raids and charges against alleged organizers.
