Hayward has been jarred by another act of violence, marking the city's second homicide this year. The Hayward Police Department is currently investigating the fatal shooting of an unidentified male victim. According to a news release, just after 9 p.m. last Saturday, the grim scene unfolded on the 22000 block of Mission Boulevard.
Responding officers found the man, his age not disclosed, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, the man's injuries proved fatal. He was pronounced dead on the spot.
The victim’s identity remains confidential as the Alameda County Coroner’s Office continues with formal identification procedures and the delicate task of notifying next of kin. As of this writing, no arrests have been made, and the police have yet to apprehend a suspect.
Anyone who might shed light on this incident, which ruptured the night's calm with gunfire and tragedy, is urged to contribute their account. Detective Green remains the point of contact, reachable at 510-293-7176, for anyone who might hold pieces to this still-unfolding puzzle.
