Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price has announced charges against a pair of men in the shooting death of local resident Wing Wong. Tramonn Gray, a 32-year-old man, is slapped with a litany of felony counts, including murder, attempted murder, shooting into an inhabited dwelling, and shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, along with enhancements that could see him behind bars for up to 54 years as reported by Alameda County District Attorney's Office.

His associate, Alonzo Dyer, 35, was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person. The District Attorney made her stand clear, delivering condolences to the slain woman’s family and starkly admonishing the reckless disregard for life on the streets, quoting, “Our condolences go out to the family of Ms. Wong, and we want to assure residents that this type of reckless violence on our streets will not be tolerated,” as per the Alameda County District Attorney's Office.

It was the Oakland Police Department (OPD), that nabbed the duo—Gray and Dyer—trailing clues that ended a months-long pursuit following the fatal September shooting. The coup was a combined effort featuring the Violent Crime Operations Center (VCOC), the Ceasefire initiative, and the US Marshals according to a report by Hoodline.

The OPD continues its appeal for public assistance, which might bring further closure to those mourning Ms. Wong. A TIP LINE has been set up, awaiting the community's voice, at (510) 238-7950 as stated in the same Hoodline release.
