The evidence includes the defendant’s link to a Mercedes Benz with no emblem.
OAKLAND — A Fairfield man was ordered to stand trial on charges that he murdered a 48-year-old Oakland man in a July 2021 fatal shooting, in a case based in part on a Mercedes Benz with a missing emblem.in the morning drive-by shooting. At his late April preliminary hearing, Oakland police testified that phone GPS records placed White in the area of the homicide and that two weeks later he was arrested in Berkeley while driving a distinctive car that matched surveillance video of the shooting.
Two weeks later, Contra Costa Sheriff’s deputies pulled over White at the Gilman Street offramp of Interstate 80 in Berkeley, in a similar-looking Mercedes with a missing emblem. They also found an AR-10-style rifle and arrested him on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, court records show.
Ernie Castillo, a Bay Area defense attorney representing White, filed a motion to dismiss the case on June 27. A judge has yet to rule on it. Castillo argued at the preliminary hearing that the case against White lacks firm evidence, noting two eyewitnesses failed to identify White as the shooter.Alameda County Deputy District Attorney John Brouhard, who is prosecuting the case, convinced Judge Michael Gaffey to order White to stand trial.
