The trial of Antoine Caradine, 33, came to a close Tuesday with jurors now faced with the decision of whether the defendant acted in self-defense when he shot and killed Darnell Johnson or is guilty of second-degree murder. Johnson, 31, was gunned down at about 2:45 a.m. on Oct. 1 at a gathering of the Soul Brothers Motorcycle Club.
The event was held at the club’s clubhouse on McKinley Avenue near Hughes Avenue and Highway 99 and was attended by about 200 people. As the party was winding down, Fresno police said, there was an argument among a group of people in the crowd that escalated to violence. At least four people fired their weapons.
Caradine is accused of firing four shots at Johnson, who later died. Two others were also shot and were treated at Community Regional Medical Center. “It was like the gunfight at the O.K. Corral,” said Caradine’s attorney Linden Lindahl.
