A killer caught with a machine gun by cops investigating a road rage attack in which he threatened to murder a woman pleaded guilty to a firearm possession charge in federal court in Oakland today.
Lamar Webster, 35, was found on April 3 2026 in East Oakland in his white BMW 740. In the car, OPD officers found a Glock equipped with a 22-round magazine and a switch enabling fully automatic fire. A search also turned up multiple drugs packaged for sale and $21,000 in cash.
Investigators had been looking for the Case gang member for two months, following an incident on a residential Oakland street.
On the early evening of February 7 a woman noticed Webster reverse his car into her driveway and park. She asked him to move it, which prompted Webster to refuse and get out of the vehicle. Unluckily for Webster, he had left the car in neutral and it rolled back and struck the woman’s car.
This state of affairs provoked Webster to draw a handgun, rack the slide, and point it at the woman.
“[Webster] threatened V1 by saying ‘Bitch I’ll smoke you,’” wrote OPD’s Marisol Rodriguez-Zamora in a probable cause declaration.
“She believed [Webster] was going to shoot and kill her. [Webster] stepped up onto the hood of V1’s vehicle and began to stomp on the windshield causing the windshield to shatter and break.”
Webster is perhaps best known for shooting and killing rival gang member Eddiebo Rodriguez, and wounding two others, after he opened fire on a car in West Oakland on January 11 2013.
He was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment.
The court was earlier told that, since his release from state prison, Webster has posted pictures of himself using firearms to Instagram, including at a gun range where he fired multiple machine guns.
He is also accused of remaining involved in Case gang activities, making threats of violence and attempting to intimidate the lady victim whom he threatened to murder.
Today in courtroom 1 of Oakland federal courthouse Webster pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers was told that, pursuant to plea agreement, government and defense attorneys will ask her to impose a 37-month sentence.
The judge, who set sentencing for September 10, told Webster that if she ultimately disagrees with the proposed sentence she will throw out the plea deal on that date and allow him to take back his guilty plea.
