OAKLAND — Two suspected pimps have been charged with trying to murder one another, and in the process killing an 18-year-old woman who was with one of the men, according to court records.

It is a case that almost exactly mirrors another Oakland shooting from 2020, which resulted in manslaughter convictions against a pimp and a man who was buying sex.

In the more recent instance, 47-year-old Derrick McIntyre and 31-year-old Silas-Omari Bryant are both charged with murdering 18-year-old Bre’Elle Vercher during a shootout last May 22.

Bryant dropped an injured Vercher off at a hospital in San Francisco, where she was declared dead. Police later determined the shooting happened on the 3700 block of Manila Avenue in North Oakland. After Vercher and another woman got into an argument, they both called men they were with — McIntyre and Bryant — to join the fracas, according to court records.

Bryant allegedly misrepresented to police that the shooting had occurred in San Francisco.

McIntyre, a Fresno resident, was arrested and charged last August. Bryant was arrested on Jan. 28, and now joins McIntyre on the same case. Both men face gun charges, and attempted murder counts, each alleging that they tried to kill the other one, court records show.

The 25-year-old woman Vercher allegedly argued with that night has not been charged, authorities said.

At the time of the shooting, Stockton police were investigating Bryant for allegedly trafficking Vercher, and in the course of the investigation they discovered evidence of an ongoing conflict between her and the 25-year-old woman, authorities said. McIntyre was the 25-year-old woman’s pimp, according to police.

The criminal complaint says McIntyre was convicted of attempted murder in San Bernardino County in 2008.

An online fundraiser for Vercher blames the “delay in care” between the shooting and her death, and says she was looking forward to adulthood.

“She graduated, she got her driver’s license, worked, and stayed close to her mom. She loved doing hair, baking and spending time with friends,” the GoFundMe page says. “She also had plans of attending the local college in the fall.”

The case is nearly identical to the 2020 fatal shooting of 19-year-old Madalyn Sandoval, a Brentwood resident and trafficking victim who was killed during a shootout between men identified as Willie Samuels and Fernando Sevilla in East Oakland’s San Antonio Park. Sandoval allegedly ran from Sevilla’s car and got into Samuel’s — her suspected trafficker — before the two vehicles pulled up alongside one another and the men exchanged words, then gunfire.

At a 2023 trial where both men blamed each other, they were ultimately convicted of voluntary manslaughter with gun enhancements, but not murder. Sevilla was sentenced to 21 years and and Samuels was given a 28-year prison term, records show.
