Patrick Lynch, an Oakland resident, was fatally shot at his shared Adeline Street home on April 18, 2021, after a fight with his roommate, Markus Mcglothen. Police say the dispute began over household chores; Lynch allegedly slapped a cellphone out of Mcglothen’s hand, punched him and chased him into a bedroom. Mcglothen then retrieved a handgun and fired multiple rounds, striking Lynch in several places. After the shooting, Mcglothen left the residence, called 911 and later turned himself in at the downtown Oakland police station with the help of family.

Mcglothen was charged with murder and unlawful firearm activity and was held in Santa Rita Jail on a no-bail hold. The incident has drawn attention because it began, according to the charging documents, as an argument about residential cleaning responsibilities. Does anyone have information about the residence or witnessed events from that evening?
