Prosecutors in Oakland have charged a man and his girlfriend with various firearm-related offenses following a raid on their home. The couple, aged 34 and 25 respectively, faces charges of being felons in possession of firearms, owning a machine gun, and possessing stolen property from the U.S. Coast Guard. These charges stem from a police investigation into shootings connected to a feud between rival illegal gambling operations in the area. Both suspects have also been linked to a fatal incident in February 2022, but remain uncharged in that case.
