Feds charge Oakland man with possessing unregistered short-barrel rifle, claim he’s a suspect in two shootings

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:15:13 GMT

OAKLAND — A Bay Area man has been charged in federal court with being a felon in possession of ammunition and illegal possession of an unregistered short barrel rifle, court records show.Tredell Smith, 32, of Oakland, was charged in late April in a two-count criminal complaint. The charges carry up to 15 and 10 years in federal prison, respectively. For now, Smith remains in federal custody at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, but is being evaluated for placement in a halfway house, court records show.Prosecutors, though, are moving to keep Smith in jail by arguing that he’s a suspect in a May 2019 fatal shooting in Oakland. But the evidence prosecutors cite amounts only to this: Smith and a suspected Oakland gang member, armed with a pistol, were seen driving a Toyota Highlander near Booker’s Liquor Store two days after the same type of vehicle was captured on surveillance footage at the scene of a fatal shooting.The May 22, 2019 shooting claimed the life of Hadiyah Loud...

By Hannah Schoenbaum, Gary D. Robertson and Denise Lavoie | Associated PressRALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina’s Republican-controlled Senate voted Tuesday to override the Democratic governor’s veto of a bill banning most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy in the first of two steps necessary to enact the policy over Gov. Roy Cooper’s opposition.The vote came as abortion rights in the U.S. faced another tectonic shift with lawmakers debating laws to sharply limit abortion in North and South Carolina, two of the few remaining Southern states with relatively easy access.Nebraska joined North Carolina and South Carolina in debating abortion restrictions Tuesday that are possible because the U.S. Supreme Court last year struck down the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which established a nationwide right to abortion.Under another bill up for a vote Tuesday, in the South Carolina House, abortion access would be almost entirely banned after about six weeks of pregnancy.
