Marshawn Black, a 22-year-old Stockton resident, was shot and killed outside his apartment in the 6400 block of West Lane on November 30, 2013. The shooting followed an argument at BJ’s Restaurant that escalated when 33-year-old Sarim Chabb allegedly ordered her brother, Sarath Chab, and another accomplice, Brian Oth, to take care of Black. Although Chabb later tried to call off the hit, Chab and Oth went ahead and shot Black multiple times.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of Sarim Chabb, Sarath Chab, and Brian Oth. Initially charged with murder, the three later accepted plea deals to voluntary manslaughter. Sarim Chabb received an 11-year state prison sentence; her brother and Oth were each sentenced to 21 years. Black’s family described the sentences as significant but not equal to the loss of his life.

Black was remembered by friends and family as hardworking and aiming for a career in law enforcement or the Department of Homeland Security. His girlfriend and their young son were noted as especially affected by his death. Does anyone have information about Black’s last days or the argument that began at the restaurant?
