Charges against a fourth defendant in the case involving the shooting death of an Oakland Police officer have been dropped, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office confirmed Wednesday.

Marquise Cooper had previously been cleared of a murder charge in the Dec. 29, 2023 shooting death of Tuan Le, 36, who was killed after responding to a burglary call at a cannabis dispensary in the 400 block of Embarcadero in Oakland. However, Cooper was ordered to stand trial for three counts of second-degree burglary in the case, but those charges have now been dropped, District Attorney Pamela Price said.

Defendants Sebron Russell, Mark Demetrious Sanders and Allen Starr Brown will all stand trial on suspicion of killing Le.
