OAKLAND — As he raced out of the Ghost ship as flames quickly consumed the warehouse, Jose Avalos encountered a wandering woman, and told her to follow him, but he lost sight of her as smoke filled the building.

Avalos recalled his harrowing escape — and his inability to save the woman — as jurors cried during testimony in the trial of two men charged with the deaths of 36 people trapped in the East Oakland warehouse that caught fire during a music dance party the night of Dec. 2, 2016.
