OAKLAND \u2014 An Alameda County judge has ordered a Richmond man to stand trial on charges that he murdered a man while attempting to locate a stolen Acura at a homeless camp<\/a>, court records show.<\/p>\n

Evan Greene, 33, of Richmond, allegedly shot and killed 23-year-old Jerome Hunter at an encampment on 23rd Avenue and East 12th Street in Oakland, on Jan. 14, 2025. Greene would later explain to police that he was firing \u201cwarning shots\u201d at Hunter, who he said jumped into a fight between his girlfriend, 28-year-old Coraneshea Savage, and another woman at the camp. Savage, who faces accessory charges, accompanied Hunter to look for the Acura, police testified.<\/p>\n

Police obtained video from a parked Tesla with motion-activated cameras, which captured Greene and Savage coming and going in a Chevy Malibu, before and after the shooting. Investigators compared the footage to data from an automated license plate reader and tracked down both suspects, according to police testimony.<\/p>\n

After the shooting, a woman at the camp \u2014 the one who police believe got into a fight with Savage \u2014 took off in the Acura, resulting in a car chase and a crash. She was arrested, and later agreed to testify against both suspects. On the witness stand, she admitted to drinking Hennessy and smoking methamphetamine that day, and to lying to police, claiming she was untruthful when initially describing Hunter as her boyfriend. She identified Savage as being present but said she didn\u2019t get a good look at the shooter.<\/p>\n

Three days after the homicide, the woman was arrested and charged for assault for allegedly revving her motor at a Salvation Army employee while stealing $80 of merchandise from the door. She was also charged with another police chase in June 2025, and faces car theft charges, court records show.<\/p>\n

Police said at the time of the killing that the people who stole the Acura mistakenly assumed it was abandoned and drove it to the encampment. Savage told police she noticed the theft when getting her kids ready for school that day and that she and Greene drove around looking for it. When they found it, they were attacked at the camp, she said.<\/p>\n

Greene told police he fired warning shots because he was concerned about Savage\u2019s safety because she underwent surgery five months earlier. He said it was an \u201caccident\u201d that someone was killed. His attorney argued that the charges should be reduced to involuntary manslaughter and that prosecutors couldn\u2019t prove more than criminal negligence.<\/p>\n

Savage and Greene were both arrested in connection with a 2015 homicide in Richmond, where 20-year-old Keven Hall was killed and two other people were wounded. But prosecutors never filed a case, in part because of conflicting witness statements and disagreements over who fired the fatal shots, authorities said.<\/p>\n

In the 2015 shooting, one witness told police that Savage had threatened one of the victims with a metal pipe and sprayed them with bleach, while another claimed Greene was the shooter. Prosecutors declined to file charges against either of them, and returned the case to Richmond police, who never brought it back to the Contra Costa District Attorney\u2019s office, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Greene is in Santa Rita Jail in Dublin without bail, and a court date set for June 11. Savage has been released while the case is pending, court records show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND \u2014 An Alameda County judge has ordered a Richmond man to stand trial on charges that he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[861,862,143,145,864,144,865,127006,127005,127004],"class_list":["post-302665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-bay-area-crime","tag-california-crime","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-murder","tag-oakland-news","tag-oakland-shooting","tag-stolen-car-murder","tag-tesla-camera","tag-tesla-surveillance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
