San Leandro has become the focal point of a murder investigation involving a fatal incident at a local skate park. Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price has announced charges against Devin Stevenson, 30, for murder, felony unlawful firearm activity, and felony carrying a loaded firearm in public. In the same case, Ebony Cook, 31, has been charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact. As detailed by the District Attorney's Office, the confrontation that led to the shooting occurred on June 15, 2023. Stevenson reportedly shot the victim following a verbal altercation at the Jack Holland Sr. Skate Park.

According to the district attorney, Cook is accused of hiding Stevenson in an attempt to help him evade arrest, trial, conviction, and punishment for the alleged murder. Stevenson could face up to 25 years to life plus three years in state prison if convicted of all charges, while Cook may face a three-year sentence for her role. Stevenson's next court appearance is slated for October 21.

The Alameda County Sheriff's Office, responding to the incident originally, found an adult male at the scene with a gunshot wound to his chest. Tragically, the victim died on the scene despite deputies' attempts at lifesaving measures. The Sheriff's Office is continuing its investigation and has requested community assistance by calling (510) 667-7721 with any information. This was stated in an ACSO Facebook post via Hoodline detailing the ongoing search for additional evidence to support the case.

The victim's identity has not been publicly disclosed as the Coroner's Bureau collaborates with ACSO detectives to identify the deceased positively. The investigation remains active, with detectives piecing together the sequence of events that led to the fatal encounter. Anonymously, tips can be submitted by calling (510) 667-3622.
