A former Alameda County Sheriff's deputy stands accused of a double murder that could see him behind bars for 50 years to life, if convicted. Devin Williams, 26, faces charges for the killings of Maria Tran and Benison Tran, a case that shook their Dublin community last year.

The grim ordeal unfolded on September 7, 2022, at the Tran's residence. The prosecution, led by Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price's office, alleges that Williams fled after the crime, only to be apprehended in Fresno following an agreement to surrender, according to court documents. "This is an unthinkable tragedy for the Tran Family. There is nothing I can say that will relieve the pain and anger they’re feeling with the loss of their loved ones,” said District Attorney Price, her words punctuating the gravity of the situation.

As the case moves forward, Williams' future hangs in the balance, with the potential of a life sentence looming.
