OAKLAND — Police here arrested two men who were inside a vehicle seen fleeing from a recent homicide, authorities said.
The men, aged 36 and 35, were arrested on Nov. 18 after police located them in a sedan that had been listed as a “suspect vehicle” in a shooting death four days earlier. The victim, 37-year-old Dejuan Davis, of Oakland, was killed on Nov. 14, near Madison and 14th streets, during an argument, authorities said.
Two suspects were seen fleeing to the sedan after the shooting, authorities said. Neither man has been charged in connection with Davis’ killing, and the 35-year-old man has already been released from jail. The 36-year-old man remains in jail for allegedly violating his probation, jail records show.
A gun was recovered from the sedan, police said.
It’s the second time over the past 12 months that the 36-year-old has been arrested during the course of a homicide investigation. Last January, police arrested him after a police chase in San Leandro, when he was identified by multiple eyewitnesses as a suspect in the Aug. 24, 2023 killing of Baltazar Alcaraz.
He was never charged with killing Alcaraz, but he did face a criminal case for allegedly leading San Leandro police on the chase in a stolen car. He ultimately pleaded no contest to a probation violation, court records show.
Both homicide investigations remain open.
