The Alameda County Sheriff's Office is reaching out to the public for any information on a decades-old homicide case that has remained unsolved. In a recent social media post, authorities revisited the cold case involving the tragic deaths of three brothers in Hayward. On December 27, 1992, Oscar, David, and Richard Villapondo met their untimely demise at the hands of an unidentified assailant, leaving a mystery that has lingered for over three decades.
According to the post made by the Sheriff's Office, multiple witnesses reported seeing a golden/yellow Chevy Nova on the night of the crime. It was said to have been parked in front of the apartment where the slayings occurred, located on the 21000 block of Oak Street. The described suspect is a White or Hispanic male, between 16 and 18 years old at the time, with a height of about 5'3" and a medium build. He was observed with a gun in his hand, cloaked in a Raiders parka with the hood drawn over his head and donning a Raiders cap, as he departed from the scene.
