Louis Ray Woods III killed Brian Antonio Marquis Moore, who was running from a San Leandro bar after getting beaten up by Woods’ father.
DUBLIN — An Oakland man has been convicted of second degree murder in the 2022 shooting of a man who had just been beaten up by the defendant’s father and was running from the San Leandro bar where the fight occurred.
Moore was killed outside of Cunha’s Cocktail Lounge in San Leandro, a few minutes after Woods’ dad knocked him down during a brief fight inside the bar. By all accounts, Moore was drunk and disturbing people in the bar; a bouncer testified that he had been ejected after stripping his clothing off earlier in the evening, then reluctantly allowed back in. The bouncer said he regretted the decision to undo Moore’s ejection because it ultimately led to his death.
After the killing, Moore fled to a nearby Motel 6 and attempted to avoid police contact, according to prosecutors. When the cops caught up with him he lied repeatedly, denying having been to the bar that night. Only at trial did he change his story, taking the stand and claiming that someone outside the bar yelled, “he’s caught a gun,” causing Moore to panic and shoot.
