Brenton Boatwright, 27, was convicted of second degree murder, attempted murder, and shooting in connection with the 2019 shooting.

OAKLAND — An Oakland man was convicted of second degree murder and other charges related to a 2019 shootout that killed his friend, who acted as a peacemaker in an earlier confrontation, court records show.

Prosecutors say Boatwright and Muqbel argued outside of Chico’s Liquor on Havenscourt Boulevard in Oakland the morning of July 22, 2019. Tate got in between the two men and prevented violence from escalating, and Boatwright and Tate left the area in a car. A few minutes later, Muqbel left the liquor store and drove after them, eventually catching up with Boatwright on 66th Avenue.

Both Boatwright and Muqbel were charged with murder, but Muqbel pleaded no contest to a second degree murder charge before trial, with the promise that if he testified against Boatwright it would be dropped to manslaughter.
