A tragic event occurred in Hayward when a 25-year-old man was arrested for allegedly shooting his own father at a warehouse and then hiding the body in a dumpster in Union City. The news shocked the local community and raised questions about the motive behind the violent act.
According to the Hayward Police Department, the incident was brought to their attention on Wednesday when concerned family members requested a welfare check for the father and son. The father had not shown up for work and was not answering his phone. Officers arrived at the warehouse on American Avenue but found no one home. However, a background check revealed that the son was on probation with a search clause, giving the officers the authority to enter the premises and conduct a sweep.
Upon entering, the officers discovered evidence of a fatal shooting and immediately turned the investigation over to the detectives. After thorough investigation, it was determined that the son, identified as David Sanchez, was responsible for the murder of his 58-year-old father. The news was devastating for both the family and the police force.
The following day, Oakland police officers informed the Hayward detectives that Sanchez was in custody for a separate incident. They also mentioned that Sanchez had made comments regarding his father during their investigation. The detectives quickly took Sanchez into custody and placed him under arrest for murder. During questioning, Sanchez disclosed the location of his father's body, which was found in a dumpster on Central Avenue in Union City. The victim's identity will be released by the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau after proper identification.
The incident marks the 13th homicide in Hayward this year, leaving the community in shock and mourning. The police are asking for any information related to the case and urge anyone with knowledge to come forward and contact Detective Scott Navas. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as they become available.
This unfortunate event serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of valuing and protecting those closest to us. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the victim, and we hope that justice will be served for this senseless act of violence.
