30-Year-Old Suspect Arrested In Murder Of Oakland Rapper Tan DaGod; Check Out Full Report

As a dedicated fan of Tan DaGod‘s music and artistry, it is heart-wrenching to see yet another promising talent taken away from us so tragically. The news of her murder outside a beauty supply store in Oakland last week left me in utter shock and sadness. I have followed Tan DaGod’s career closely, admiring her raw talent and the grit with which she approached her music.


Last week in Berkeley, the Oakland police took Dominic Gates, a 30-year-old man, into custody. This arrest came after the deadly shooting of Tan DaGod, whose real name was Alliauna Green, a 27-year-old rapper. The incident occurred outside a beauty supply store at the intersection of 40th and Telegraph Avenue in Oakland on July 13. Witnesses reported that there had been an argument between Green and another person prior to the gunshots being fired. Therefore, Gates is currently facing murder charges for this fatal altercation.

Based on Mercury News reports, Dominic Gates, who goes by the rapper name BNC 4nero, is suspected of being involved in a shooting incident. One of the victims identified as Anteasa Collins, a 25-year-old woman from Stockton, may have had connections to sex work and possible human trafficking allegedly orchestrated by Gates.
