Xin Hoang, 31, was shot to death on August 26, 2018, outside an illegal gambling club in the 1100 block of International Boulevard in Oakland. The shooting occurred about 2:20 a.m. and involved multiple people with conflicting accounts of what happened.

Court documents state Marshawn Chambers, 22, was the shooter. Chambers and a friend had reportedly been asked to leave the club after operators suspected them of planning a robbery. As Chambers exited, he encountered Hoang and an associate, Anthony Le. Chambers’ defense said he believed Hoang, who was allegedly armed with a metal pipe, and Le, who was allegedly armed with a gun, were about to assault him and that he acted in self-defense. The shooting killed Hoang and wounded two others.

Prosecutors sought first-degree murder charges, but the jury convicted Chambers of voluntary manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and assault with a semi-automatic firearm; Chambers was sentenced to eight years and eight months in state prison. Anthony Le was also charged with assault with a semi-automatic firearm for allegedly shooting at Chambers. Anyone with information about the shooting or the gambling club is asked to come forward.
