Willie Samuels and Fernando Sevilla shot at each other but ended up killing a 19-year-old Brentwood woman.
DUBLIN — In a case where two East Bay men fired guns at each other, but killed a 19-year-old woman, jurors returned the exact same verdict against both men Wednesday morning.
The jury deliberated for several days, and the verdict came two days after one juror privately voiced concerns about how deliberations were going to the judge. As speculation rose about the potential for a mistrial, jurors announced Wednesday they had agreed on a manslaughter verdict. Prosecutors said during trial that Sandoval had met Samuels months earlier and that family members were concerned he was trafficking her. Sevilla’s attorney argued that Sandoval and Samuels had plotted to rob Sevilla and that he fired in self-defense, while Samuels painted Sevilla as the aggressor who initiated the confrontation.
