Ex-Deputy Sentenced to 50 Years for Dublin Double Murder

Devin Williams received consecutive life sentences for the 2022 execution-style killings of Maria and Benison Tran.

The murders occurred after Williams, who had a romantic relationship with Maria Tran, broke into the couple's home and shot them with his service weapon.
The case highlighted deficiencies in the Alameda County Sheriff's Department's psychological screenings, with 47 other deputies also flagged for questionable evaluations.
Family members, including the couple's teenage son, delivered emotional testimonies during the sentencing, expressing profound grief and loss.
District Attorney Pamela Price's handling of the case, including the dropping of special-circumstance charges, contributed to her recent recall.
Judge Jennifer Madden emphasized the betrayal of Williams' duty as a law enforcement officer in her decision to impose consecutive sentences.
