The quiet of a Livermore hotel room was shattered by gunfire last weekend, leaving two people dead, and the Livermore Police Department urging the public to help track down the suspect. The manhunt is on for 30-year-old Yonston Vazquez of Oakland, identified by police as the suspect in a double homicide that has rocked the city. Authorities released photos of Vazquez, imploring anyone with information to come forward.

Details about the tragic incident emerged early on April 27, when officers responded to reports of shots fired at the La Quinta Inn on Southfront Road. There, they discovered a 26-year-old woman from Oakland and a 21-year-old man from Hayward, lifeless within the confines of an inn room, both victims of gunfire. Despite life-saving efforts, both victims were pronounced dead at the scene, as reported by Livermore Police's official X account.

Livermore Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a suspect believed to be responsible for killing two people over the weekend.

As the Livermore Police’s Criminal Investigations Bureau took the helm of the investigation, a narrative began to form, placing Vazquez in the center as the prime suspect. It surfaced that Vazquez knew one of the slain individuals, adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding tragedy. Tagged as armed and dangerous, Vazquez's whereabouts remain unknown, and the Livermore PD is calling on anyone with information to reach out on their anonymous tip line at (925) 371-4790.

With these killings, Livermore confronts its first and second homicides in the year, an ominous start that has cast a dark shadow over this Northern California community. The Livermore Police, steadfast in their withholding of further details to maintain the integrity of their investigation, have passed the torch to the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau for the official release of the victims' identities.
