The Berkeley Police Department has been arrested in the Adeline Street murder case from last month, where a 52-year-old man, Corey Dushawn Waters, was found shot to death. A 42-year-old man, Marcel Bible, who is also known as Darnell Anding, was arrested and faces charges in connection with this violent incident, as indicated in a report by the Berkeley Police Department on their Facebook page.
On August 16, at approximately 12:44 pm, the sound of gunfire alerted the authorities to the apartment complex on the 3200 block of Adeline Street, where the victim was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds. After detailed investigations, including analysis of surveillance footage, ballistics, and interviews, authorities identified Bible as the suspect. According to the Berkeley Scanner, Bible was apprehended last Sunday, a month after the alleged crime, in Oakland amongst the remnants of a cleared homeless camp.
The Alameda County District Attorney's Office has since charged Bible with the murder of Waters, including two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Marcel Bible's history includes a robbery conviction from 2013 and a cocaine sales conviction from 2005, which casts a shadow over his present circumstances as he is held without bail at Santa Rita Jail.
Bible, in his interview with Berkeley homicide detectives, claimed that Waters barged into 3228 Adeline St. "with a gun while threatening to shoot him," leading to Bible's retaliatory shooting around 12:30 p.m. on the fateful day. Police stated that Bible then collected his blood-stained clothes, cleaned up, and concealed two guns in a neighboring apartment complex. One of these firearms, upon recovery, was identified as the murder weapon, according to details released by the Berkeley Scanner. Witnesses have informed authorities of an "ongoing dispute" between the two men, which possibly culminated in the tragic shooting. Bible's arraignment was set last Thursday.
