OAKLAND — A man who survived an East Oakland shootout last month that left him wounded and another man dead has been charged with murder, according to authorities and court records.
Marcus Maxie, 25, of Oakland, is accused of killing Aaron Hughes, 35, of Berkeley in a gunfire exchange that happened just after 7 p.m. May 28 in a parking lot in the 10500 block of Foothill Boulevard, authorities said.
Maxie was wounded in the leg during the exchange of gunfire but has since been released from a hospital. He is also charged with carrying a concealed firearm on one’s person.
Police said the two men did not know each other prior to the shooting, which stemmed from an unspecified dispute.
Hughes was taken from the parking lot by an ambulance to a hospital, where he later died. Maxie fled the scene before police arrived. He got his own ride to the same hospital a short time later.
According to court records, police were able to identify Maxie as the suspected other shooter from surveillance video at the scene. He was placed under arrest at the hospital.
Maxie is being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail. He is scheduled for a bail hearing June 14.
