But a woman’s allegations about Tran’s payments to her in a 2011 murder case have led to this week’s developments, authorities said. That woman, Aisha Weber, said Tran took advantage of her being homeless and desperate for money and offered her thousands of dollars to testify against two men in a trial that ended in their convictions for murder, with life sentences, in the fatal shooting of a man in an argument over a North Oakland parking space.
After Tran admitted in court papers to paying the woman small amounts in cash, as well as previously undisclosed amounts through other programs, defense attorneys sought to dismiss charges against the jailed men, who were quietly released from custody in 2022. An attempt to reach an attorney for Tran was not successful Monday night. Tran must turn himself in to authorities within 48 hours, KTVU reported.
