Mother of suspect accused of killing Oakland officer Tuan Le released from jail
The mother of the man suspected of killing Oakland police officer Tuan Le was released from jail Monday, on the day she was set to be arraigned after her arrest on accessory charge in the officer's death.
Alameda County jail records show 48-year-old Felicia Williams was no longer in custody after her arrest on Thursday. She is the mother of Mark Sanders, who investigators suspect fired the shot that killed Le.

Bay Area News Group reported Williams was released from custody after prosecutors declined to file charges in time to keep her in custody under state law. Williams was arrested for allegedly helping her son leave the state and destroying evidence but she had not been formally charged as of Monday evening and has no date to appear in court, the report said.

Le was killed on Dec. 29 while responding to a burglary at a cannabis business near Oakland's Jack London Square. Five suspects have been arrested so far.
Some of the suspects were arrested in connection to the shooting, while others were arrested in connection to the burglary that preceded the deadly shooting.
Also on Monday, Oakland law enforcement held a procession for Le.
