OAKLAND — Before the Ghost Ship fire broke out, Darold Leite heard bottles breaking. Then about seven men ran out of the warehouse side-door right past him. As a fire began to engulf the building, Sharon Evans was at a nearby taco truck when she saw a similar group of men.

“The way we put the wood there, they’re never getting out,” Evans heard the men say, according to her account to defense attorneys.
