OAKLAND — Two reputed gang members have been charged in a gun battle Saturday morning outside a downtown Oakland club that left eight people, including themselves, wounded, according to authorities and court documents.

At least two other men who also may be gang members are being sought, police said.

Charged with three counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm are Brandon Simpson, 27, who was wounded in the leg and abdomen, and Kehinde Riley, 20, who was shot in the leg.

The men are friends and reputed members of the same East Oakland gang, authorities said.

Simpson remains hospitalized. Riley is being held at Santa Rita Jail.

According to police and court documents, the two were among a large crowd outside a club in the 400 block of 14th Street about 12:15 a.m. Saturday when they got into a dispute with another man who authorities believe was gang related.

Within moments a gun battle erupted involving Simpson, Riley and the two men being sought.

Simpson and Riley and six other people, including a 17-year-old boy and four women, were wounded in the gunfire.

The shooting was captured on video surveillance and that led to Simpson and Riley being identified as suspects, according to court documents. Simpson was arrested at Highland Hospital and Riley at Kaiser Hospital where they had gotten rides to for treatment of their wounds.

According to court documents, Simpson has five prior felony convictions between 2005 and 2015 for grand theft, possession of cocaine for sale, vehicle theft, assault, and accessory after the fact. He received prison terms for the grand theft, cocaine and vehicle theft convictions, according to the record.

Riley has a prior robbery conviction from 2013 when he was a juvenile. He was incarcerated at a juvenile facility for the conviction, the records show.
