Renee Colvin, 31, allegedly struck 33-year-old Slai’On Carter in the head with a bottle of Patron before shooting her with Carter’s own pistol.
OAKLAND — In the moments before 33-year-old Slai’On Carter was shot and killed with her own pistol during an early morning argument last December, she pleaded with her attacker not to hurt her, according to witness testimony.
What happened next capped off a hellish night for a group of friends that included multiple fights and shootings, and ended with four hours of police questioning following Carter’s death. Colvin was charged with murder in January, and details about the homicide came out at her preliminary hearing last May.
Carter, a transgender woman whose friends knew her as Nikai, was gunned down around 4 a.m. on Dec. 3, inside a Dodge pickup truck on the 1400 block of Castro Street. She was shot once in the face, allegedly by Colvin, after the two had a playful argument that escalated into a fight, according to witness testimony.
She ended up in a truck with her friend Phillip Smith, who testified that she got a call from Colvin and the two had a friendly chat on the phone. Carter mentioned she was moving and Colvin told her she would sell her furniture, Smith testified. The two arranged to meet up right away.
