Episode Details

A shocking Oakland homicide from May 2022 centers on Devon Askew, a 31-year-old accused of robbing a chicken stand and killing customer Jose Amaya-Ramos—just for $110. Arrested in October 2023, Askew faces murder and robbery charges, denies guilt, and his defense is digging into the murky past of ex-Oakland detective Phong Tran, whose own misconduct allegations—including witness coercion—could shake the case. Three accomplices, including Albert Bagwell (who claims he had a fake gun), were also involved. With Askew held without bail and Tran’s tainted record looming, this case is poised to spiral deeper into legal chaos.
