OAKLAND, Calif. - A man was shot and killed at his own Fourth of July party in Oakland by a party-goer, who was considered a close friend, according to the victim’s family.

Victim offered to let suspect sleep on his couch​

What we know:

The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. Saturday in the 800 block of 41st Street in North Oakland, police said.

The victim, Tim Conover, had hosted the gathering at his home and was seeing guests off — one of his final acts of hospitality before his life was cut short.

Family members said one guest stayed behind. They said Conover offered to let the man sleep on his couch as he appeared to be under the influence.

Victim was shot with his own gun​

What they're saying:

As Conover stepped outside to say goodbye to his other guests, the man allegedly got Conover’s gun, went outside, and shot him multiple times, the victim's family said.

Conover died at the scene.

The suspect, 40-year-old Dwane Stewart, was arrested on suspicion of murder around 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

He remains in custody at Santa Rita Jail without bail, according to jail records.

Conover is survived by his partner and their two children.

A GoFundMe has been set up to support his family.

"Tim, was an example of loving without conditions. His heart was full of love and gave to all he could. He would feed you, laugh with you and send you home with a happy heart," the GoFundMe fundraiser read. "Family and friends are in shock that a vibrant, caring father of 2 could be gone in seconds after trying to help someone he'd known for years."

Your “friends“ know where you keep your iron?

Sus

Apparently the “friend” was a drug addict and the victim tried multiple times to offer him help.

Some people you gotta let go, especially if they ain’t helping themselves.

the statistics for owning a gun are damning.. yet another person whose life was taken with the very weapon they intended to use to defend themselves.

Let his heart rule his head.

Man I’m not letting no drunk man sleep on my couch in my house with my family, let alone drug addict.

I wish breh would’ve ordered an uber for his “friend” instead.

As a man, you’ve got to put your family first. I’m stringent about who not only comes inside my home, but who’s allowed to sleep over.

And outside of immediate family, no man would ever be allowed to sleep over. Sad he had to learn the hard way.

Reminds me of the father who let a homeless teenager into his house where his daughter also lived.

Yeah apparently houses with guns are less safe than ones without. Makes sense.

I'm not hosting no party at my residence period. Just get together with family at most.

Your gun is most likely to:

Be found by a child and used on itself or someone else

Used for suicide

Taken by a burglar and used on you

Some form of accidental shooting

Before you get to self defense.

But we live in such a backwards country that people feel safer with one despite all the carnage.

How do you have a man who isn’t family sleeping under your roof with your wife AND children? That’s a no-no.

Someone decent wouldn’t even get that high/wasted at a cookout in front of women and kids smh


What a sad story. Dude was probably jealous of him.

Sooooo so sad Smdh

I think a key factor y'all are missing is a lot of gun owners are dumbasses.

Don't be a dumbass and shyt is practically like not even having a gun.

I’m just giving you the statistics.

And dumb ass gun owners often affect the people around them.

Or like in this case the owner was shot with his own gun

150 heavily armed cops were afraid to go against one dude with an AK-47 slaughtering children.

Country is madness.
