‘I’m very remorseful’: After murder acquittal, retired police chief’s son sentenced to 13 years, eight months for Oakland robbery

OAKLAND — The son of a retired Union City police chief beat a murder case last February, but in the end that didn’t save him from prison.

Convicted of robbery at the same trial where he avoided a murder conviction, 24-year-old Tyrone McAllister was ultimately sentenced to 13 years and eight months behind bars. During trial, his lawyer encouraged the jury to “go ahead” and find him guilty of the robbery, which occurred hours before the homicide.

McAllister was transferred to the state prison system April 29, records show.
