HAYWARD — An alleged North Oakland gang member with 13 prior felony convictions has been charged in a robbery where the victim was shot in the leg but survived, court records show.
Demaria Adger, 30, has racked up 13 felony convictions in Contra Costa, Alameda and Los Angeles counties since 2013, according to the charging documents. This month, he was charged with assault with a firearm, second-degree robbery and gun possession, all stemming from a July 16 robbery where his alleged cohort shot the victim while attempting to rob the man after he visited an ATM in Hayward, authorities said.
According to police, the victim had just left a Wells Fargo in Hayward when the suspected shooter accosted him. Adger, wearing a distinctive shirt with a red spider, soon joined in the struggle. Police reportedly found a near-identical sweater during a raid of his San Francisco home. Adger is the only one charged in the robbery thus far.
Authorities allege Adger is part of a gang called NSO, which stands for North Side Oakland. His prior convictions include charges of assault, burglary, conspiracy, street terrorism, robbery and gun possession. He has been sentenced to prison before, including for five years in 2022, and had gotten in trouble for five probation violations since last year, including for failing to register as a gang member, absconding and battery, according to court records.
Adger is being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin and is next due in court on Nov. 7, records show. He has pleaded not guilty.
