A prosecutor and a defense attorney agreed on September 6 that Veelewrance Harrison fatally shot Juan Hernandez in East Oakland three years ago but they disagreed about whether he acted in self-defense or should be convicted of murder.

Harrison, 39, is accused of shooting Hernandez, 30, of Oakland, with a .45-caliber handgun in the 7500 block of Arthur Street, near where Harrison lived, at 12:18 a.m. on November 16, 2015. Hernandez was pronounced dead about 10 minutes later.
