OAKLAND — A Sacramento County man has been sentenced to seven years and four months in state prison after being arrested for more than a dozen alleged crimes, including shooting a man in the neck during a rolling gun battle and trafficking two women, court records show.
Emiaj Williams, 23, was originally charged with a range of crimes in the Bay Area that included possessing stolen cars, resisting arrest, shooting into a vehicle, pimping, human trafficking, pandering, and leaving a gun where a young child could access it. In the end, he pleaded no contest to two counts of pimping in exchange for the prison sentence, records show.
Williams racked up credit for more than half his sentence — factoring in good behavior time — while detained at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin. He is currently incarcerated at a state prison in Jamestown, records show.
Williams came under police investigation in 2024, after he was accused of evading police in a stolen car in San Jose. His problems snowballed from there; over the summer of 2024, he was accused of shooting a bystander in the neck during a gunfight between two cars that travelled through East Oakland. When Oakland police arrested him at a hotel that October, they found evidence he had been trafficking an ex-girlfriend and another woman, court records show.
