A former Alameda County sheriff’s deputy has been convicted for the murders of a married couple in Dublin, California, more than two years after the tragic event took place.
The defendant, Devin Williams, now faces a possible sentence of 50 years to life in prison after being found guilty of first-degree murder charges.
Williams, who was 26 at the time of the murders, fatally shot Maria and Benison Tran in their home on September 7, 2022.
The prosecutor’s office confirmed that Williams used his service weapon to carry out the crime.
According to investigators, Williams was involved in a romantic relationship with Maria Tran, although she was still legally married to her husband, Benison Tran, with whom she lived.
The relationship between Williams and Maria Tran reportedly played a key role in the motive for the murders, although more details about the exact events that led up to the tragedy remain unclear.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price expressed her gratitude to the jury for their hard work, which led to a guilty verdict in a case that had drawn significant public attention.
In her statement, Price emphasized the devastating impact of the crime on the Tran family and the local community.
“This horrific tragedy has left a young boy without his parents and a community in shock over this brutal home invasion and attack on an unarmed couple,” she said.
Williams is set to receive his sentence on November 12 at the East Bay County Hall of Justice in Dublin, where he could be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Authorities and community members alike are still grappling with the trauma left behind by the violent crime.
The conviction marks the end of a long, emotional journey for the families affected by the murders and for those involved in the investigation and prosecution of the case.
