Dublin, CA – Two suspects were arrested on a murder warrant Tuesday (April 27) during the investigation of Bay Area native Lil Yase who was shot and killed in November 2020. Although the motive in the killing remains to be determined, there is an alleged love connection among the three people in the case.
According to KTVU, Dublin police officers booked Jovante Williams and Angel Butler, both 28, who were taken to Santa Rita Jail for their alleged roles in the shooting of the 26-year-old San Francisco-bred “Who Is He” rapper (born Mark Alexander Antonyyo, Jr).

(CNN) A California man who died in police custody this month was restrained on his stomach on the ground for about five minutes before he became unresponsive and officers began CPR, body camera footage released Tuesday by the Alameda Police Department shows.
The April 19 death of Mario Arenales Gonzalez, 26, is under investigation by the county and the city, and a lawyer representing Arenales family alleges the first police news release about the incident was misleading.
The cause of Arenales death has not been determined.

Gonzalez died April 19 after police pinned him to the ground for at least five minutes. The Alameda Police Department said Gonzalez suffered a medical emergency after a scuffle with officers.
Julia Sherwin, the attorney representing Gonzalez s family, said Gonzalez s actions that day didn t warrant law enforcement response from the start. He s unarmed. He s just got a comb. He s been combing his hair and he s been loitering there for half an hour, she told NPR s Eric Westervelt. Why this required a law enforcement response right at that moment is beyond me.
