#1 Rule Everyone. Don’t do “Drug Deals” in parking lots.This is medicine. Meet in an office or a club-not behind Safeway or Ikea. Its NOT the “Safe Way” to do things.

(06-14) 18:05 PDT Oakland — The former University of San Francisco basketball player who was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Emeryville Ikea store had been in a group that was trying to rob a marijuana dealer, authorities said Monday.

Hyman Taylor Jr., 23, of Oakland was killed and a 27-year-old San Francisco resident was injured at 7:35 p.m. last Tuesday outside the store at 4400 Shellmound St. Authorities are still searching for the gunman but have arrested a suspect in the alleged robbery plot and charged him with Taylor’s slaying.

Cassidy O’Connor, 20, arrested early Thursday, was charged Monday with murder and attempted robbery under the provocative-act doctrine, which holds accomplices responsible when their crime partners act in a way that leads to death.

Police who responded to the reported shooting found Taylor dead on the 1500 block of 40th Street, several blocks east of the store. The other gunshot victim, whose name was not released, was found on the east end of the parking lot and was taken to a hospital.

Although the store is in Emeryville, the parking lot is within Oakland’s city limits, and the shooting is under investigation by Oakland police.

Taylor, the wounded man and O’Connor had gone to *********.com, a medical marijuana marketplace, and identified someone willing to sell them a large amount of marijuana, said Tom Rogers, Alameda County’s chief deputy district attorney.

But the trio was bent on robbery, Rogers said. Taylor and the San Francisco man were hiding in some bushes when a female marijuana supplier and a man acting as her protector drove up, the prosecutor said.

After the woman got out of the car, Taylor and the San Francisco man – each armed – came out of the bushes and tried to rob her, Rogers said. Taylor fired his .22-caliber handgun, and the woman’s protector returned fire, striking Taylor and the San Francisco man, who remains in critical condition, authorities said. The woman and her protector fled; a woman who was with Taylor’s group at the time of the shooting was interviewed by police and is cooperating, Rogers said.

I watch the first 48 on the reg and consider myself some what of an honorary homicide investigator, and the other surviving jackers will be charged with capitol murder and ultimatly be held responsible for their friends death. When during the commision of a crime like robbery if someone dies, and Since you were PART OF THE ACTION THAT LEAD TO THE DEATH, of an individual you are actualy guilt of the murder of that individual., Even though you didnt pull th trigger .

they want this in the news so people will think cannabis is a problem. The media puts a bad spin on anything cannabis related. It will get worse the closer we get to nov.
