In an ironic twist of fate, it turns out the victims, the suspect, and the lead detective were planning to spend the day at Rolling Loud in Oakland.
OAKLAND — An Oakland man has been ordered to stand trial on charges of murdering and robbing a Bay Area couple who were on their way to attend a world-renowned hip-hop festival when they were gunned down in East Oakland, court records show.
“Not only is there probable cause that Mr. Riley is the perpetrator of those crimes but I have no doubt on the evidence presented to me that he was,” Judge Thomas Reardon said at the preliminary hearing.At the hearing, police identified Riley as a security guard for an unnamed rapper and the cannabis company Runtz. One of Wasilausky’s friends testified that Wasilausky was a friend of the company’s co-founder, a rapper who goes by the stage name Yung LB.
Both victims suffered multiple gunshot wounds while in a silver Ford Focus, which careened into a nearby residence after Wasilausky, the driver, was shot, according to police. Investigators quickly determined the couple lived together at an Emeryville apartment, and that video surveillance there captured Wasilausky making a call before he and Giannini got into the Ford and headed toward Oakland, according to court records.
