"A third suspect was arrested and charged in connection with a Jan. 3 triple homicide inside a local liquor store, which police now say was motivated by a conflict over a $10 marijuana deal. The suspect, Jamaal Myers, aka Michael Jackson, was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, but police say he was positively identified as the man who two of the homicide victims bought marijuana from shortly before they were shot and killed."
"After his arrest, he admitted to police that he sold brothers Luis Antonio Valdez-Gomez and Kevin Andrew Valdez-Gomez marijuana before the shooting, inside the Sky Market on 85th Avenue and International Boulevard in Oakland. Police say that Myers and Kevin then got into an argument, prompting Tatmon to punch Kevin and draw his pistol. After Tatmon allegedly pulled a gun, Kevin pulled his own pistol and fired a shot inside the store, police say."
