OAKLAND — Five years after a beloved local restaurant owner was tailed to her Alameda business and beaten to death by two robbers, both suspects have been convicted of first degree murder, court records show.
The verdicts, handed down April 25, came after a relatively short trial that relied on eyewitness accounts and video footage showing part of the attack. Paez and Holloway have not yet been sentenced, court records show. Le fell to the ground, struck her head on the pavement, and died in a hospital several days later. The cause of death was blunt force trauma. Prosecutors argued that regardless of whether one or both men struck the fatal blows, they were equally culpable because Paez had knocked her to the ground and Holloway had used a deadly weapon to assist the robbery attempt.
