1 dead in Hayward shooting, another man wounded may be connected

A young man was shot and killed while sitting in a car in a residential area of Hayward near apartment buildings, police said Thursday.

The victim, said to be in his late teens or early 20s, died at the scene, said Sgt. Tasha DeCosta of the Hayward Police Department.

The victim’s name was being withheld by the Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau, pending notification of his next of kin, a spokesman said.

The shooting occurred in the 1700 block of B Street around 11:23 p.m. Wednesday, DeCosta said.

Police at the scene were later notified of a second man who showed up at a local hospital with a gunshot wound, but investigators have yet to interview him to determine whether his injuries are connected to the B Street slaying, DeCosta said. The wounded man’s age and condition were not immediately known, DeCosta said.

No suspects were arrested and investigators have yet to determine a motive for the shooting, she said.

The shooting marked the 10th homicide in Hayward this year.

Anyone with information on the incident can contact the Hayward Police Department at (510) 293-7066.
