Marcus Haynes, 51, was shot and killed on October 22, 2018, at a large homeless encampment on East 12th Street in East Oakland. The shooting happened at about 5:15 a.m. after an argument between Haynes, who was visiting the camp, and another individual escalated into violence. Witnesses at the scene identified Donte Green, also known as Willie Williams, as the person who intervened and shot Haynes multiple times. Haynes died later that day.

Donte Green, described in court records as a 38-year-old transient with several prior felony convictions, was identified as the suspect and arrested on a parole violation in early January 2019. He was subsequently charged with murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of a firearm with a prior conviction. At the preliminary hearing witnesses said they saw Green shoot Haynes during an argument about a mobile phone, though accounts varied and defense counsel challenged witness reliability.

Does anyone have information about Haynes, where he spent time in East Oakland, or the events that morning?
