Two men, along with two minors, have been charged in connection with a shootout at a mini market in West Oakland earlier this year, prosecutors said Friday.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price’s office announced that the four are believed to be linked to a shooting at the Al-Awdis market on West Street on Feb. 19.
According to investigators, there were five victims in the shooting. Forty-five bullet casings and two firearms were also recovered.
Prosecutors said 23-year-old Keeric Lamont Johnson and 19-year-old Joshua Smiley have been charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and one count each for shooting into an inhabited dwelling.
Johnson is also facing a charge of one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Meanwhile, Smiley has also been charged with carrying a concealed firearm.
Two juveniles were also charged in connection with the incident. Their names and the charges they are facing were not announced.
