Hayward man charged with gun possession during shooting

OAKLAND >> Two years ago, D'Monieya Deshaun Green was sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty to illegal gun possession, a charged that stemmed from a shooting incident in which he fired back at an assailant who sprayed dozens of rounds at him.

Now, Green, a 29-year-old Hayward resident, is back in jail in a nearly identical case. This time, police say he was shot and injured in Oakland, only to be once again found in possession of a firearm.

It all started on April 25, 2022, roughly six months after Green was released from the 2020 sentence. Police were called to a report of a shooting on the 7500 block of MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland, where Green was found suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. Police say they found a loaded gun in the driver's seat of a blue Toyota Solara he was driving.

At the hospital, a bag containing multiple bindles of heroin fell out of Green's clothes, according to authorities.

Federal prosecutors later charged Green with being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute heroin. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years for the gun charge and up to 20 years for the heroin charge. Separately, prosecutors have charged Green with violating the terms of his supervised release in the 2020 case.

In 2020, Green pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and heroin distribution, and was sentenced to two years in federal prison. That case stemmed from him selling heroin to a police informant in 2018, and firing back at someone who shot at him in May 2019.

Before Green was sentenced in September 2020, his attorney wrote in court papers that the May 2019 incident was the fourth shooting Green had survived.
