Man gets 200 years in prison for three Oakland murders and other crimes

(BCN) – A 38-year-old man has been sentenced to a total of more than 200 years to life in prison for the 2009 killings of three people, the attempted murder of two other people and other crimes in Oakland, according to Alameda County prosecutors.

For the deaths of Nguyen Ngo, Nehemiah Lewis, Andrew Henderson Jr. and the attempted murders of Deandre, Joseph Carroll was given 197 years to life plus 10 years and four months in state prison
Ware and Bao Ngo after a jury verdict, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement Tuesday.

During the trial, prosecutors said Carroll killed Nguyen Ngo in a drive-by shooting in Oakland on April 23, 2009. He also tried to kill Nguyen’s brother Bao Ngo, who was injured in the shooting.

Carroll attempted to murder a man named Ware on May 3, 2010. On June 11, 2010, he shot Lewis as the victim was getting out of a car in Oakland.

Based on evidence and witness statements, Carroll murdered Henderson in another drive-by shooting in Oakland on April 13, 2011.

District Attorney Pamela Price said the case revealed a “level and extent of violence that is outrageous and completely unacceptable in our county.”

“Unfortunately, there will be no time to heal the pain caused to the families of the victims. However, the ruling reflects the need to protect public safety from this type of violence,” Price said.
